Same but different tyrant-boss but no two way audio.
We didn't have gigabit broadband back then, therefore whenever the boss was on the cameras the internet went slow. Therefore we always knew that if the internet was slow we had to be on best behaviour.
We never told him how we knew when he was watching or let him know that we knew, it was an office wide open secret amongst us though. Funny times.
The off topic highlight was when a young French girl was being interviewed. I happened to be in earshot and I almost fainted. Straight up she was asked about her plans to start a family. They didn't want to hire someone who might cost them maternity pay down the line, hence the opening question that brazenly got straight into the sexism. She took the job.
I too only lasted three months before I quit.

They didn't want to hire someone who might cost them maternity pay down the line In France, you can lie to that question without legal repercussions, even when currently pregnant, and refusing to hire someone for the reason you stated (and a long list of other reasons) would be illegal. Does this kind of thing exist in the US, even if only in some states ?
