So um...

The question is, are employers allowed to monitor you while you work?

I mean, cashiers are gonna have cameras pointed at them.

Bank workers...

Casinos...

Law enforcement (body cams are pointed away, but still one can argue its privacy intrusion)

I mean, you are getting paid so is it unreasonable for an employer to monitor you?

Like some jobs already has the norm of cameras monitoring your work. So do we all get rid of camera? Or should some jobs get monitored while other don't?

Curious 🤔

I mean, nobody like being watched, but like if you think about it, a store owner has to make sure their cashiers don't steal.

Upper managers allegedly justified the camera’s installation as a security measure to monitor individuals attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings in the office, according to the suit, which also claims that video recording of AA members at a meeting is illegal.

Is this about theft tho?

Oh yea, I'm not specifically referring to this story. But like in a general sense of "Is surveillance at work ever okay? If so, when is it okay and when is it not okay?"
