I know most people demand privacy while they work, but I'm on camera for most of my job, all day every day. I also don't know what my point was...

Those jobs should also pay more in general... No reason someone in a cubicle needs to be monitored by a camera doing a desk job

That. Is an excellent point. I understand being on camera when I'm near cash or prescription drugs, but... Just working on spreadsheets and shit at a desk... That's definitely abusive oversight.

You are giving informed consent to be on camera while working. If you found out your boss was secretly filming you without your consent, you would likely feel differently.

You say that, but when I prove the camera I found in my toilet belongs to my employer...
