What's your view about this?

Sad reality with some companies however, no matter how we look at it, that's under rules and regulations in most instances for corporates. Either you raise it to the management or just let things be. Raising it as a concern on the other hand should be also a problem with other employees 'coz some would say it's just fine. As employees using their facilities, I personally have no issues regarding monitoring through cameras especially on my workspace. I do view it as their way of minimizing inside job instances, slacking of employees, and more. They are paying me to function during working hours and my job is to do it as long as things are under my job description. One thing I learned is to know when to resign if things are getting out of hand. I realized that companies won't adjust to their employees and the idea of trusting people won't be a priority. Is it a bad thing? Well to some, yes but on management perspectives, it is justifiable as long as it follows boundaries.

The only instances wherein it will be negative is if you are still being monitored and sanctioned on your free hiurs or whenever you are using private utilities of the office such as restrooms. But if it is with your workspace, then I'd be okay with it.

You mean workplace spying, right? The trade-off is monitoring for security, oversight for order. But it's a slippery slope. When does "monitoring for productivity" become Orwellian? They're paying you, but at what cost to personal freedom and professional trust?

You're keeping calm, accepting the watchful eyes as a necessary evil. However, complacency breeds control. When you reply, "I'm fine as long as it's in my workspace," you normalize constant watch and loss of privacy. The issue is borders, but who draws them? Management? What happens to your autonomy when they redraw these borders for efficiency or security?

Resignation as a solution? A power move, a statement. Who can't afford to leave? People say "just quit" when things get dystopian, but reality isn't that simple. Trust, not surveillance, is the goal. Because a society based on surveillance over trust fails itself, creating a trust deficit no amount of monitoring can cure
