I've come here to ask for some advice on something that happened at work today.
So I recently got my first office job. It's pretty chill and casual so we can just wear whatever. Tiring but okay. We have these lockers we have to put all of our stuff inside of before we go into the office (like our phones, which honestly makes a bit of sense considering we handle pretty confidential documents for like the city and stuff).
I was told we had to put locks on our lockers. Okay, fair enough. But then today my supervisor alerted me that I would have to take off my lock because I didn't give the company my extra key.
I need the extra because my family fleet has two cars and never know which one I'll end up with. The fact that I have to give the company access to the place where my phone and wallet are stored seems kinda… Fishy? I mean I guess it's to make sure we don't store a gun in there or some crap but it seems like a serious privacy violation. I've never worked any job remotely close to this before. All I did before this was some low-paying blue collar work.
Is this even legal for them to do? It just doesn't seem right to me.
