If this isn't a red flag, I don't know what is. Perhaps the worst thing an employer can do is to make their employee feel like their every move is being monitored. In this case, that's not just a feeling; that's exactly what's happening here. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/TrueOffMyChest subreddit by u/Casimyrx, who discovered a camera pointed directly at her desk on her first day on the job.

Some folks in the comments left incredible advice for this 22-year-old, who is relatively new to the working world. On a serious note, she should start looking elsewhere for a job immediately. On a more light-hearted one, she has several options to get back at her boss: she could put a photo of her working directly in front of the camera, she could put a decoration (perhaps a potted plant) in front of it, etc.
