Today, I discovered that my boss listens to the things we say about him on the audio-enabled cameras at our work. I'm thus currently jobless. FML

OP, didn't they teach you that in job 101? You wait until you leave the premises to say anything negative about the place and don't bitch about your work to your coworkers because even if your boss didn't have a camera one of them could still tell him about the conversation. While I feel sorry for you, I still have to say YDI.

Never Bitch about your Workplace "AT" your workplace.

Thats a rip off, you should actually sue him because its illegal to listen to recordings of people without their permission. And if someone is recording you, you have to be informed in writing.

That's why you don't talk bad about your boss at work you ******* idiot. I thought that was common sense.

People who have a problem with thus... thusthusthusthusthusthusthusthusthusthusthusthusthusthusthusthusthusthusthusthusthusthusthusthus ...have a problem with me. :) /word spam Anyway, if you care enough, you can do something about that. Audio-enabled cameras are spying, especially if the boss was actively listening to your conversations (as opposed to simply going through the footage for some sort of investigation thing). But taking action or not, this is a valuable learning experience. It may be hard to resist, but badmouthing bosses will never bring good outcomes. Vent privately when you get home (employers are getting increasingly tech savvy, so Facebook won't work either). And don't trust other employees -- they'll screw you over the first chance they get.

#28 either you're a troll or an idiot. I'm not sure which is worse.

What were you expecting? Not many managers like it to be known around the office that they suck in bed. If you had really wanted that promotion, you would have kept your mouth shut around the water cooler and open around his crotch.

In Ireland it's illegal to do that, you need to inform employees about such systems and people saying you shouldnt bitch about your workplace when your there!? do you people actually have jobs? Cos i've never worked in any office, part time retail, professional offices, even client's offices, where poeple don't bitch bitch bitch about the place. Christ I can't think what else some people would have to talk about.

Yeah, I have a job. And I like my boss/coworkers, but sometimes I also feel like I work harder than them. I definitely have complaints. Do I make those complaints at work? No. I do what any smart worker does, and wait until I'm home. People aren't saying not to complain, just not to do it AT WORK. That's just stupid.

That just doesn't sound legal unless you work for the government.

YDI for not knowing how to keep your mouth shut
