    Holly carp! I just realized I was subconsciously reading in his voice - specifically when thinking about eye movements.

    The two documentaries to watch back to back are Human Resources and Century of Self.

    Utterly depressing truth about the source of PR.

    Great article.

    I wonder if one could wear uniform and seemingly opaque contacts which would prevent determining exact eye position/gaze?

    God, that sounds dystopian as all hell.

    Just like in the movie Brazil - they ruin that guys life because a bug got in the type-machine which was putting out the papers for whom to go after, and it made the machine spell the wrong name.

    However, if you have not seen this documentary, I highly recommend you watch it, called "Human Resources": http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/human-resources/

    EDIT: What they SHOULD use watson for is to determine of those being laid off from the current position, how suitable they would be to internally apply for the one of 25,000 openings.

    They should limit Watson to tell them who should be RA'd to a new job - not who should be let go. Obviously those NOT scored to stay by watson are in the set of pink-slips implicitly.

    If you haven't already - watch the documentaries "Century of the self" and "Human Resources" for more disturbing information on how this came to be.
