> if someone recored my whole work day every day I would not be happy

I'd be perfectly fine with not voice recording people who's daily work may or may not impact the global delivery of cat pictures.

I think if you choose a job where there are several hundred people's lives on the line relying on you doing your job professionally and correctly, the expectation of privacy argument is somewhat less convincing.

> I don't think you would stay at your job of that was a condition of it.

Some people literally have no choice. Do you think _any_ Amazon delivery driver is "happy" with their on-job surveillance? Do you think _any_ call centre worker is "happy" with "calls are recorded for quality and training purposes"?



I don’t disagree with you but we can’t ignore the fact that it’s much easier to find delivery drivers and call center workers than airline pilots.

As everything, it’s all about the leverage each side has.
