I heard that there is something on FB from the Detroit Free press about a company in Wisconsin chipping its employees. I don't do FB so I did some searching. I couldn't find anything current but I did find a couple old articiles.
Wisconsin Company Offers To Implant Chips In Its Employees
July 25, 20172:06 PM ET
A Wisconsin company is offering to implant tiny radio-frequency chips in its employees – and it says they are lining up for the technology.
The idea is a controversial one, confronting issues at the intersection of ethics and technology by essentially turning bodies into bar codes. Three Square Market, also called 32M, says it is the first U.S. company to provide the technology to its employees.
The company manufactures self-service "micro markets" for office break rooms. It said in a press release that obtaining a chip is optional, but expects that about 50 employees will take part.
Employees who have the rice-grain-sized RFID chip implanted between their thumb and forefinger can then use it "to make purchases in their break room micro market, open doors, login to computers, use the copy machine," 32M said.

Wisconsin company to install rice-sized microchips in employees
Mary BowermanUSA TODAY
Welcome to the future?
A Wisconsin technology company is offering its employees microchip implants that can be used to scan into the building and purchase food at work. Whether or not to get a chip is up to the employee to decide.
Three Square Market, a company that provides technology for break-room or micro markets, has over 50 employees who plan to have the devices implanted. The tiny chip, which uses RFID technology or Radio-Frequency Identification, can be implanted between the thumb and forefinger "within seconds," according to a statement from the company.
