"Will we need job boards specifically for jobs that don't do surveillance too?" Are there jobs that don't do surveillance? Seems like every company's jumping

  Are there jobs that don't do surveillance? Try front-line and front-line-adjacent healthcare. Due to federal privacy laws, a lot of ordinary office surveillance tech is not permitted. It's not uncommon for regular offices to have "security" cameras. But when IT tried to put the cameras all over our building, the legal department told them to go stick their heads in a pig. I wasn't part of the discussions that followed, but based on my company's privacy training, I can imagine a couple of problems: - Legal didn't want even the remote possibility that a "security" camera might be able to view a patient's records on someone's screen. - Legal didn't want any record that a particular patient went into a particular office, thus identifying them as having a particular ailment. (It's the same reason all of our promotional flyers sent in the mail have to be in a plain white envelope, and not postcards announcing to the world "You're overdue for your herpes follow-up!") There are still security cameras, but they're only allowed in the employee parking lot. And I think I've seen them in the server rooms. But that's pretty much it.

    They probably also didn't want video evidence when their doctors or nurses screw up, which would make malpractice cases against them stronger. Video evidence could also exonerate them, of course. But they probably erred on the side of opacity and the status quo over more transparency, as ass-covering corporations often do.
