are you being watched

[stokes11eg]

If you are doing the job properly who cares if you are being watched!

It depends on the bodylanguage of whoever's watching you. When IB are using the cameras, it doesn't bother me in the least, as I can't see them watching. There have been occasions in the past, when certain Managers have stood watching us, with arms folded. And giving the impression, that they're just looking for an excuse to pull us. When I've felt extremely intimidated.

I'm not sure I could cope with being watched in that way every day. But it'd be difficult to prove as B&H (specifically harrasment), as they would probably just claim that they were just doing their job.

most people do do their jobs properly, but being constantly watched is not nice,and is off putting.have you ever noticed that some folks can't help playing up when Managers are around.? It is as if they are baiting them, and guess what?
That disrupts other peoples work, and usually, as always the trouble makers are always left alone,or even worse engaged in
conversation with the manager.Yes, checks should be made, but in a more subtle way. our office is so ols it still
has viewing galleries behind glass----but never used, perhaps it 'is time to go back to these1

That sounds like an excellent idea, for those places that still have them. Or more cameras, for the ones that don't. So long as I can't see them, they can't make me feel uncomfortable. Like you said: The majority of us do our jobs properly, so we've nothing to hide. I just hate having someone standing over me, with that look of "come on, give me something to pull you for" about them!

That's one advantage with being on an FLT these days. I'm too mobile for them to do that to me anymore. Which is just as well, as my Manager won't be there next week, and he's one of the minority of good Managers.

eXACTLY---it always seem to be the 'good guys' who get pulled up.

Yep I'm sure I've been watched out on delivery when I've been cutting off

they have been very sneaky round here taking there own cars out as well as royal mail vans checking up on us on our deliveries apparently if they are watching us on delivery they should inform us at the time ,but they are only telling us if they think you have done something wrong and they cant find you. such as being in a block of flats if they cant fault you they dont tell you they have been watching you , its good to be trusted

We had this pre privatization , some of it is to soften people up and knock the stuffing out of people , if the " offences " are very petty , it's to create a culture of fear , it's also union bashing agenda .

Can tell all sorts of stories , managers with camcorders whilst on annual leave trying to get people sacked , the union got it chucked out as inadmissible evidence , hiding behind bushes , on bridges , all sorts of times of day , alehouse raids , just sh***hawks ; the elevator doesn't go to the top but devious to the point of being neurotic . Like instuitionalized convicts they've 24/7 to plot things , the rest of us have better things to do .

LOG EVERYTHING FOR " A RAINY DAY "

Too many chiefs and not enough Indians and ar**holes desperate to justify their jobs , egotistical idiots using them as stooges , the lights on but nobody is home , empire builders of the worst kind . :lfo :cfo :mfo
