HR panics after employee walks into the office wearing auto-recording smart glasses: 'Nobody knows what the policy is because the policy doesn't exist'

Nothing will make corporate employers panic quite like an employee who records everything.

The most amusing part of this workplace anecdote is that the employee in question didn't exactly know what he was doing. In fact, he thought that he was just spicing up his wardrobe by coming into work that day with a stylish new fashion choice. He did not anticipate the pushback he would get from upper management, human resources, security, and even IT.

The problem was that the employee decided to bring the auto-recording smart glasses he recently purchased to work that day. The author of this story, who was the go-to IT guy, was called down to the front desk by security because of a "situation." He assumed it would be some sort of technical malfunction, which is not what he wanted to be dealing with before 10:00 AM. Instead, he ended up having to deal with something he had never handled in this workplace before.

It seems like the employee himself had no idea what the problem was. He wasn't trying to secretly record the inner workings of his corporate environment, but the problem is that it didn't matter if he was going to do that or not. The issue was that he could record everything if he wanted to. 

Keep scrolling below to find out how the IT guy had to be the person to problem-solve this, despite the fact that on the surface, there was nothing he could do about it.
