I think that computers would have to become much more advanced to be able to micromanage humans whilst maintaining a harmonious and sustainable work environment. Humans would have to become used to the idea too. I see both computers and humans "evolving" towards one another gradually but that would take time.
The hypothetical presented here rushes that evolution and ultimately does not seem like it would work: 1) There still exists a generation that finds the idea unacceptable (the father) and 2) the computer still has relatively poor communication skills (being told to get the mop, get the bucket, pour water in bucket, pour detergent in the bucket, place mop in bucket, etc, would drive you up the wall very quickly).
Modern computers are certainly capable of managing things like inventory, finances and physical environment. Micromanaging humans though is a big step and they're definitely not there yet.
