    I don’t see the issue, most people at work know they are being watched. Clearly y’all have never had an item stolen by a driver before.

      The problem is not the camera, the problem is that amazon is not doing much to preserve the privacy if its employees from these leaks

        And we know that how?

        Amazon is a very very large company, completely sealing up something like that would be next to impossible.

        Note this doesn’t meant they shouldn’t try, only that I personally recognize the scope of the issue at hand.

        Hopefully they find the source of these leaks soon though and patch up their privacy better for the drivers sake, but it’s very likely it’s just another Amazon worker leaking these.

          I don’t think that a driver facing camera increases the safety of package delivery whatsoever. All it can detect is whether a delivery person is driving, perhaps how they are driving and that’s it.

          A delivery person can exit the car, take a package of (potential) value out and do whatever. You can still be caught taking the package away from the customer if you do not take it to the customers door first and then not announce yourself. Or make a photo to “confirm” that the package made it to the door.

            Well agree to disagree then, you’re under the clock it’s pretty normal to be monitored for a variety of reasons.

            Hate me if you want, and I agree with the issue with the leaks themselves, but being watched at work isn’t some dystopian nightmare.
