Starting a new job tomorrow driving a company vehicle with a camera in it. Because the job is picking people up from work sites and taking them home the company has a camera in the vehicle that reports any unsafe actions the driver takes.

But the idea of having this camera constantly watching me just waiting for me to make a mistake has me seriously stressed out.

I have no idea how I'm going to manage this job when I start tomorrow and I can't afford not to take it. Typical catch 22 I'm going to be miserable no matter what happens.
