Would you wear a body cam at work?

If body cams get cheaper and cheaper, companies might start asking more people to wear them while working.

E.g.: coloradosun.com/…/youth-corrections-audio-surveil…

I could see this for doctors, at restaurants, stores,, etc… eventually.

Are you ready to wear one?

EDIT TO ADD: A few people said this wouldn’t ever make sense for doctors (privacy laws) or for fixed locations (stores). I should have thought of that.

But what about Uber / bus drivers, or repair people who go into homes? I can imagine a large corporation thinking a cam is a good idea, for their own CYA (not for the customers’ or the employees’).

Also I don’t like this idea either, to be clear. I was mostly playing devil’s advocate here to see what you all think. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Pretty much what I expected, tbh

Everyone in the building wears one regardless.

My management or owners are not allowed to see the content and it can only be reviewed by a third party arbitration.

If the camera is off I might as well be dead to my employers and coworkers.

My pay increases proportionally to the success of the business.

Never.

No. Mine isn’t the sort of job where bad interactions with customer happen. Everyone is white collar for the most part and the aggression comes in a written contract with a gaggle of lawyers reading every word.

I would absolutely, categorically, stop doing business wherever I see employees wearing bodycams.

Hell no. That would turn anything other than unflinching obsequiousness towards obnoxious clients and potential fraudsters into a firing offense. Specially in the already dystopian US job market.

There are things that I do where a body cam would be useful, but I wouldn’t wear it for office work.

That depends… who controls the footage?

If it’s my employer, absolutely not unless the job is high liability already because then it becomes a liability for me when somebody else controls my data.

If it’s just for me, sure I would wear it if it’s not too much trouble and I have concerns.
