After learning that micromanager monitors workers with the help of surveillance cameras and recorders, employee turns to reddit for advice

Each morning when we get up, get ready, and head to work, we discover that not much has changed from the day before. We work to maintain our means of survival and to enjoy occasional vacations. That being said, how would you feel if, in spite of your diligence, your employer decided to follow you around as if the objective were personal rather than shared?

The following story tells the story of a disappointed gas station employee. The original poster (OP) worked at the gas station for an extensive stretch of time. At first, everything was going well for OP; he was content with his salary, his coworkers, and his employers. All that changed, though, when they were handed a 'special' gadget that followed them about with audio and video.

OP turned to Reddit for advice and guidance on what should be done. That being said, if you're curious about the details of what transpired, including how the monitoring tool functions and what guidance was given to the original poster, read the story below. Remember to read the account of the employee's strategic compliance with the administration office, which led the company to amend its corporate policies, when you're done!
