dont ever get a job in a bank
I used to work for a bank. We had one security camera that was pointed at the front entrance of the office.
Actually when I started working there the camera wasn’t plugged-in. I figured it would be a good idea to have it on so we could at least have footage of folks entering and leaving the one door into and out of the office.
After I turned it on, legal made me turn it off because the corner of the camera also filmed the door to the bathroom at the entrance of the office. German laws dont allow you to monitor bathroom usage.
So this bank had no cameras for years until they changed offices.
Just dont work in an oppressive country where corporations can exploit you. Pass privacy laws.
If I had to work in an office with a security camera pointed directly at me all day, I would just start wearing a burka to work.
They don’t fucking own you.
They sure as hell act like it though
Well for one, I’m glad law enforcement are required to have body cams for accountability. Imagine if police unions lobbied so that the body cam requirement is be removed because of privacy reasons.
Those cameras aren’t pointing at them. This was pointed at her.
They are recording what the police do and say. It clearly doesn’t make a difference that the camera is technically pointing away from them. Do you think this person would have been ok with wearing a corporate bodycam because it isn’t pointing at her? No obviously not.
The thing that is different is that police have control of it, and they generally only use it in public where there’s no expectation of privacy, and they’re the bloody police and have guns and kill people!
That’s weird. How does Vaseline keep getting on the camera lens?
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…
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…
No, that one belongs to Creepy Greg
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.
Incredible, even scummier than I thought it was going to be based on the title.
Wow that is so fucked
… Alcoholics Anonymous …
It’s right in the name, even.
They thought it was a hacking group drinking event.
My gawd
At my partner’s last job, they insisted on having a camera above their desk (front desk of the building)
They worked together to make sure my partner was not visible, and the camera had no sound.
I would HATE to have a camera on me at all times, ick. I’m so happy we work at home now.
