So when I first started working at my job, I was told that the owner of the store would sometimes watch us through out the cameras in the store, and if we weren’t being productive then he would call the manager in the store to let us know.

At first I thought is was a joke to keep us on our toes but I was proved wrong very quickly when the manager informed us that the owner was watching us clean up through the cameras and wanted us to go faster.

Now, what he considers being “non-productive” is leaning for a second, or talking to a friend while smiling. Etc

I think this is very creepy and weird and I’ve never had this experience at any of my other jobs.

    Not much you can do about the camera hardware. However this is definitely a toxic work environment. Your best bet is to leave, though I know that may not be possible. Good luck. Hope you can find something better.
