Really mad about these new devices. The old ones we had was just 2 buttons you hold and press and it activates a silent alarm. These new ones are touchscreen and about 5 times as thick (looks like a brick). Anyways I was told it is new remote alarm and tracks movement for “safety”. I was NOT informed that it has a camera and audio recorder in it. I noticed the camera while I was in the BATHROOM and it was pointed right at me. I hung it on the door handle to use the bathroom. I am now wondering if I was just recorded by my employer in my works restroom? I work at a Gas Station btw. Also the old remote alarm was optional so I never wore one. Today I was told these new ones are not optional. Help what do I do.
EDIT for those asking I do NOT know the current model or brand of what this thing is. I will find out tomorrow and update here. Also for any confused it is a belt hook device that I just slip on by belt and keep it on my left side.
EDIT 2. After looking around on my own I was able to find an image of one. I will be posting in the comments. I’m sorry I don’t know how to pin it.
Edit 3 (next day after original post). Today I refused to wear one of these devices the entire day. No one confronted me about it. I will continue to decline wearing it, If I am forced to and get fired I will update that here. I have begun searching for a new job. I like this job but as many of you have stated this level of monitoring is far too over the top for a gas station. I have also shown fellow workers the camera on it and said that I won’t be wearing it and I advise them not to either. So far no pushback on not wearing it but I also suspect upper management is deciding what to do as several co workers of mine have also said they will not be wearing one. Only person wearing one today was the store manager. (And for the MANY people who said this is QuikTrip. You are correct. Nicely done)
