Apparently they monitor delivery people in the trucks too
I sometimes see them working behind the trucks to avoid the cameras inside.
World is getting super weird, we are racing to the bottom.
- heavyset_go 4y agoThere are likely teams of tech workers maintaining the surveillance tech pipeline at the company. Excluding the people who just don't care, or who enjoy it for the wrong reasons, the rest probably believe that the tech they work on is good and helping the world.
- supert56 4y agoAnyone who believes this is good work and helping the world is deluded. It's full on race to the bottom, treat people like robots, surveillance state stuff.
- lotsofpulp 4y agoWhat is the limit for monitoring? Is a GPS tracker too much? Video too much? My wife is in healthcare and knows how to properly administer vaccine injections so that the kid gets thee best immune response. She has had to notify our clinic that their nurses are not proper administering the vaccine. How would someone audit this if it is not recorded? We have also had doctors write notes stating they checked or discussed so and so issues, when it blatantly did not happen, so we have to send a message correcting them. I understand that the doctor is likely covering their ass from excessive liability, but they’re also concerns from the patient side that proper care is not being delivered and the patient will never know. I am not intending to pick on healthcare, it is just the first example that came to mind for when I thought of instances where recorded evidence would benefit me. But it is interesting to think about changes in societal trust and perception of societal trust now that recording is so cheap. Surely, one would agree that recording a cop while on the job is necessary (for both cop and others), so what is the line that separates a delivery worker?
- JaimeThompson 4y agoThose at VP and above levels should subject themselves to the same sort of monitoring as delivery workers so as to lead by example.
- lotsofpulp 4y agoDefinitely. If managers want to monitor delivery workers for productivity, shareholders should want to monitor managers for productivity too.
- bryanrasmussen 4y ago>Surely, one would agree that recording a cop while on the job is necessary (for both cop and others), so what is the line that separates a delivery worker? are delivery workers regularly shooting or beating up people as part of their jobs and then saying it was necessary force?
- lotsofpulp 4y agoSure, but would one codify this if they wanted to make it law? The complexity of that is what I was trying to point out. And obviously, in its absence, we have deliver workers being recorded on the truck, because it’s simply so cheap now.
- bryanrasmussen 4y agoyou do it on a law that says jobs that are involved with public safety are surveiled and otherwise not. I guess I don't see the complexity of this in comparison to other laws and regulations.
- lotsofpulp 4y agoWhat is public safety? Surely, driving a vehicle on the road affects public safety, so recording the driving would be allowed. A nurse giving injections to people is public safety, so recording that would have to be allowed. Cleaning floors so they are not slippery is public safety, as well as preparing food. Playing with spreadsheets on a computer is maybe one thing that does not involve public safety.
- heavyset_go 4y agoAgreed, and it makes my skin crawl knowing that there are plenty of people in the field who would adopt those delusions to justify the work they do.
