Workplace surveillance is getting out of hand

I’m seriously considering quitting because of the crazy surveillance at my new workplace. I get why places have to have cameras, and almost all public places have them it’s whatever to me. But the surveillance at this place is so much worse than any other job I’ve worked. Of course at every job that has cameras there’s this weird cloud over everyone that management can see your every move so don’t screw up but in my experience they don’t really watch or they don’t care. At this new place it’s absolute asinine how often we are being breathed on by our bosses. I have my scheduled tasks for the day like everyone else.

At this new place it’s absolute asinine how often we are being breathed on by our bosses. I have my scheduled tasks for the day like everyone else. At my old place it made no difference what order I did them in as long as they got done by the time I clocked out. If I just need a second to sit down and relax since I’m on my feet all the time, no one really cared. But now, I sit down for a second and take a breather and I get a call from my boss or a meeting anywhere from a few minutes to a day later telling me “I saw you on the cameras, get up.” It’s like I’m being watched by God and just waiting to be struck down for my sins. Like do these managerial people not have lives and kids to worry about on their days off? I’m staying because the hours and pay are pretty good in comparison to other places but man, I’m tired of being breathed on.
