With a low take rate among the population, it does little for stopping the spread, sadly... at that point, it's really just to boost your own immunity and shorten/lessen the duration and effects if you do catch it.
The current booster was based on the XBB.1.5 Omicron sub-variant. Therefore it's expected to also be effective against the current dominate strains that are directly related, like BA.2.86 and EG.5. So it's worth getting, it'll be some protection against the most common strains right now.
Of course once we roll through the winter into the spring and there are several more mutations and a new dominant strain, it'll be time to start the process over again.
Their No. 1 problem with it is how difficult it is to observe and monitor employees
Um, no. Like others here have pointed out, the overwhelming majority of office workers have to turn in countable digital product of some sort for their job production. LOOK AT IT. Was it the quantity and quality required of them? Well, there you go.
Also, what the hell are you on about, hypothetical boss? In today's technical age, so many bosses can just remote view a worker's screens (even when the workers don't know that it's happening in real time).
It's creepy to spy, but if you really suspect someone's away from keyboard extendedly when they aren't supposed to be, you can literally just look in.
"I can't monitor my employees" is such a weird complaint when counting is a thing and tech tools are out there designed to let you overview your workforce.
It amazes me that people fall for shot-in-the-dark e-mail scams like this (they must, or scammers wouldn't still be doing them).
I mean, yeah, they have to get lucky to match your actual current circumstances (ie, you're really waiting for a USPS package right now, or you are a customer of the bank they randomly guessed when generating the scam message), but even if that occurs...
I'm just stunned that there are so many people out there who blindly go "oh yeah, it must be them, how else would they know?" and proceed straight to the scammer through that e-mail link to dump info (or unknowingly download malware). It's absolutely insane to me.
If it's really your company, then your thought process should be... thanks for the heads up, I'll just go to your actual official site that's in no way attached to this e-mail to check my account or tracking number or whatever.
I remember Amazon being called out for doing this a few years back (like the early to mid 2010s if I'm recalling correctly). Theirs was particularly ridiculous because you could be on their site logged in, and in an incognito tab logged out, and be seeing different prices reported on the same product pages.

That's a solid Trapper Keeper folder right there.
