‘Add another zero’: Manager offers ex-employee $50 to work a shift, claims to be desperate for staff

Manager Secretly Records 1-On-1 With Employee, Accidentally Sends It to Him
It’s no secret we’ve been living in more of a surveillance state than ever before. I often think about how nearly every college class I took during the 2020-2021 school year was recorded and put online for the students who didn’t attend Zoom class that day.
