[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want a childcare provider who’s willing to be on camera every minute of their workday, that’s called a corporate daycare center.[/quote]

You are on camera 99.9% of your life. The entire world is covered in ring cameras and security cameras. A childcare provider that has an issue with cameras being in the house when there are children who cannot talk yet themselves being cared for by unrelated adults doesn't need to be a childcare provider.

What a lame attempt at a comeback. Is there a camera in your office (not the lobby, not the common areas — your personal workspace) pointed at you for every hour of your workday?

I’ll answer for you. No, there is not.[/quote]

Np. You’re comparing apples to oranges, but I’ll bite. I’m an attorney in a highly specialized field. The vast majority of my work is done in my computer. My employer has the tools to track all activity and read all my emails. They can track keystrokes. They can even “log in” to my computer while I’m working and watch in real time.

Do they do this every minute of my day?  No. Neither would a nanny employer. But my employer does periodically search emails for certain words, phrases, etc and does review websites visited.

Does it feel invasive?  Yes. But at the end of the day, I’m okay with this, because I’m not doing anything wrong. I’m simply doing my job.  I understand my employer’s need to do this - to protect both their business and their client’s confidential information.

I understand a camera may feel invasive but if you are just doing your job, why should you care?  Your employer is trying to protect their kids - do you understand that?   [/quote]
