Sometimes I imagine what different worker surveillance, quality control, or incentive systems would be like if they applied to my job.

I think this would be the worst.

"Andrew started work on your draft 7 months ago"
Automatic restrictions on prescribing or medical decisions or best practice prompts or hard stops would be like a governor on your Stata:

"Are you sure you want to cluster on state? Research indicates that you have too few states to obtain consistent standard error estimates"
I think this is the most morbid though. You get an NSF grant, then some investigator is suddenly on campus slyly asking your students to share emails and old code about how you chose your specification, what earlier drafts said, trick robustness tests.
