So disgusting. Imagine being stressed at work because of personal reasons (e.g., you find out a family member is sick, your SO just dumped you, etc.) and your manager comes over to ask you why you're stressed out. Maybe the intentions are good, but to me, this sort of behavior clearly crosses a line. This wasn't inevitable, but blurring the line between work and personal, especially the whole work-as-family bullshit meme, has always made this outcome more possible.
- 1827163 3y agoI had the same problem in the open plan office at a former employer. A vicious circle sparked by me getting upset from a family related issue, and amplified by the manager opposite. The more he would start interfering and observing me, the more upset I would get. It became a matter of getting him to leave me alone, so that I could calm down. Once I did that, it all went away. Yes, his actions, presumably 'for my own good' caused me to get severely distressed. Open plan offices are a surveillance and privacy nightmare already, without the need for any cameras at all.
