You could never predict how it could be used. To pretend that it could *only* be used for one purpose is being ignorant.
Remember, the technology offered to the public is about 50 years BEHIND what the technology that is used by govenrments behind closed doors.
To GIVE UP yourself so you don't have to carry a credit card? I sincerely hope this was a troll post, not someone seriously believing that the convenience of not having a card in your pocket is an appropriate tradeoff.
You'd have to kill me before I'd allow you to implant a microchip on me, or to tattoo me with a bar code.
Yep. What year is it??? I often feel posts like this are meant to test the waters. See if it gets people's attention. See how many agree. The posts never feel authentic.
Neat if you want a private company have the ability to track you 24/7. Especially because as an employee you have so much control and insight to what the company does with the information they gather.
Yeah, it would be totally cool if the government was doing it.

For a start, I know how it could be used - proving that employees turn up on time. Despite being in a 21st century age, people around me still struggle with the ancient philosophy of turning up when their shift begins. Seeing people stroll in whenever they feel like or slip out 5-10 minutes early every day and get away with it, there's some karma there.
It also says bravery. No more cards or cash. Just imagine it! Swiping your hand and paying for food, transport, anything you damn like. And sure, thieves might take advantage of you, but your screaming while they try to amputate the bone in your arm - it probably isn't worth it by the time somebody has come to help.
And if gubmit is 50 years ahead of us? Well then be 50 years ahead of us. But more likely it has been free market driving the frontier of technology, not government. And you're the kind of person who'd hate anything new to your industry thinking "oh no death of X industry" instead of considering it could be a corporate improvement.

So fire them. After the first two employees are fired for lateness, problem solved, people will show up early for work. That's also a manager problem, not an employee problem. Why are managers putting up with it? Fire managers who put up with it as well. Problem Solved.
It would allow your employer to know where you are at all times. This is terrifying.
I doubt a small chip would have GPS tracking capability. I wouldn't submit to it myself but I doubt they would "know where you are at all times".
