Mutual trust shall be made. If an employer thinks of spying on their employees it means they’re doing somehow injustice to their employees that’s why they are spying...

Employers should be spying on employees on the basis of [whether] given work is delivered or not on time. Projects are responsibility of employers to handing over to clients, but I don’t know if spying is ethical or not.

We are always loyal to our company but what about the company’s integrity to their employee?

Depends who the employees are. Some people take advantage of not being monitored. So if there is no monitoring then there should be a system in place to safegaurd the interest of the employer.
Mahnaaz Sheikh
Spying and ethics cannot co-exist.
