[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Calm down, 11:27. People in many jobs are watched, both by camera and by other people. It's a normal expectation to be monitored somehow while at work.

To the OP- it's likely the family you work for is checking on you a lot right now because the camera is new. Over time, especially once they notice that nothing very special happens while they are gone, they will back off. Try to be patient (if you like them and want to keep the job) and deal with issues as they come up in a calm manner. For example, I think you should definitely tell the MB and DB that the calling in about the couch jumping was undermining you and made you uncomfortable. If they don't lighten up, or understand and change their behavior in a few months, I'd probably leave the job. Good luck.[/quote]

Often times when people are monitored or on camera in other jobs, the focus of the monitoring isn't solely on one person. It is security watching a building full of people or CCTV catching everyone walking by. It isn't a camera aimed at your cubicle or following you around watching no one but you. Also in most cases the person on the other end watching through security cameras doesn't know you personally, they aren't tracking your every move and have little if any connection to you. Being nanny-camed is a much more intimate type of recording than most.

Maybe there are other jobs where your personal employer has a camera focused on you and solely on you all day, I just can't think of any off hand. [/quote]
