I've often thought of this as a dystopian future where employees are routinely chipped. Those who refuse, are either fired or are not trusted. Now, it appears, someone is doing it.
I view the danger not so much in loss of privacy, which in any case is virtually gone already, but in that NFC chips are easily spoofable. Someone could simply carry an NFC tag in their hand that has alternative information, for example to impersonate another employee.
There are emulated NFC smart chips which are more difficult to duplicate and do provide transactional security, however.
