Not sure if this belongs here but I don’t know where else to ask this. If anyone can point me elsewhere, please feel free.
Let me start of by saying our boss is almost never in the office. Like. Ever. Maybe once or twice a week, and not even full days.
Anyway. Because of this my two coworkers constantly gossip about her (I don’t get involved) and one of my coworkers leaves 30 min early almost everyday because…she can. And I’m certain our boss knows this but probably doesn’t feel she can do anything about it. Never being here and all.
It’s been this way for years as far as I know. I’ve been there a year now and it’s been this way as long as I’ve been there. Didn’t seem to be much of an issue. Our boss even praised our hard work at our Christmas party recently.
But things have suddenly gotten strange. First, she out of nowhere buys three surveillance cameras. With audio as well as video. One for the front door, one for back door, and one for her office. Our office is small. One camera was all that’s needed if you’re worried about employee safety. But these were planted throughout.
Then she randomly buys us each Echo Dots for our individual offices and sets them up on her phone.
Am I being paranoid? Or has she decided to spy on us, keep eyes and ears on us since she’s never at work, but make it look like “these are all gifts for you guys”?
