'I'm quitting tomorrow': Employee discovers her boss planted a hidden video camera, bails without notice

You know that feeling everyone occasionally gets at work that you're being watched 24/7? Well, what if you suddenly discovered that this was actually the case?

Sometimes when you have a micromanager for a boss, you get the feeling that someone is breathing down your neck and following your every move, as if they are just waiting to point out an error or give you a hard time about the way in which you go about fulfilling your daily responsibilities at work. This obviously does not make for a pleasant work environment, but I suppose I'll take the feeling of being watched all the time over the reality of that actually being the case. 

This worker at a small shop of just three employees discovered that when her boss wasn't around, she was surveilling the Redditor and their coworker via a hidden video camera she planted in the shop. The worst part is that when their boss unveiled this information, she did it casually as if it wasn't the giant reveal that it was. Thankfully, this employee had enough self-respect and freedom to call their boss out for crossing a major line.
