Employee Describes Toxic Workplace with Screen Monitoring and Seven-Day WorkweekPreviousNext

An employee shared on Reddit their experience of working in a highly toxic environment where the boss used high-definition CCTV cameras to monitor computer screens and personal chats in real time. The workplace enforced a seven-day workweek with no weekends or holidays off, requiring staff to stay until 2 a.m. The employee described the boss as paranoid and micromanaging, creating a stressful atmosphere marked by favoritism, lack of transparency, and psychological pressure.
