Nin-Yaaban Posted July 20, 2009 I always use to hear that term, but never realized how true its until today. Ha, we were just informed by management at the place i work at that they would be installing real time surveillance cameras in work areas. Worse, these cameras record to hard drive and supervisors could go back and view videos anytime they want. Supposedly its there to "help" us do our job, but i say its spying on us. But o'well, what do you people think about Cameras that seem to be everywhere nowadays. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N.O.R.F Posted July 20, 2009 ^Have you been to the UK? You will be on 300+ cameras just going to work (so they say). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valenteenah. Posted July 20, 2009 That's awful. Now you'll really have to recycle properly. And you won't be able to waste time chatting with colleagues. And you won't be able to steal milk from other people! The horror. I couldn't work under such conditions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N.O.R.F Posted July 20, 2009 ^Actually, there should always be a camera in the kitchen/pantry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nin-Yaaban Posted July 20, 2009 No seriously, this has everyone at the work place concerned for their privacy. Can you imagine being under surveillance all the time while you work? Rumor has it will have audio too. Its depressing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valenteenah. Posted July 20, 2009 ^ I agree, cameras are not conducive to a comfortable working environment and it indicates major mistrust on the part of managers. LoL @ Torres. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N.O.R.F Posted July 20, 2009 I certainly wouldn't want cameras around monitoring my every move. It would be like a prison. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LoL @ Torres. Y'know it would've been reasonable for this mistrust on their part if we worked with MONEY or anything of value, but knowing that we dont...i just don't see any reason why they would install 'em. It's just a waste of money that they could use it for other things. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most cameras here are on private property (malls, shops, etc) and are owned by private companies. So i can understand if they choose to have cameras in their places....but to have the gov't install 'em and watching is creepy as hell. Even though, they wouldn't catch me doing anything wrong.

Salma Posted July 20, 2009 Well, as long as they won't put it in the restrooms and inside da elevators, it's ok.. The "You are being watched" mentality/concept should be studied/examined first whether it's ethical or unethical before being implemented... P.S. I've once I read in a Feng Shui book that putting an apple infront of the PC monitor will protect you from its harmful radiation, the next morning the apple was gone :mad: .... if there was a surveillance camera at that time, I would have figured out who is the monster who took my apple...
