if your boss asks to collect brain data it's time to find a new job.

Okay, but will it be better at another workplace then?
I doubt it.

On the one hand, employer collects more data on workers in the name of ruthless efficiency.
On the other hand, snazzy high tech accessories you can wear to the workplace.
Decisions, decisions. Think about it (I'll watch).

That's probably true. They already ask for your piss.

Oh man, goodbye to the last frontier of privacy - your brain.
Hiring departments will simply ask applicants for a brain scan, and put the device on your head like the choosing hat from harry potter. Those who refuse will simply not get the job.
Governments will demand a scan before they help you with anything.

Yea no more interviews, you simply put your brain scanner on at home and send the data to the company and they use an AI to determine if your brain is a good fit for their company, that's it!

Its such useful data, but I wouldn’t trust any entity that was profit motivated with it, and even then malicious or overly self serving actors could abuse the information.

Privacy rights are what no BCI manufacturer wants to talk about today. It is easy to understand why.

I hired this person when they were 23 and they are 43 now, how effective is their brain at this point? Have they served their good useful lifetime of service to us?
