Remote Employee Fired After Refusing Daily Webcam Photos

Original: A Remote Employee Refused 160 Webcam Photos a Day. Her Employer Fired Her

A remote worker says she was fired after refusing her employer's demand for around 160 webcam photos a day to prove she was at her desk. The case has sparked wide debate about surveillance of home-based staff, privacy rights, and how far companies can go in monitoring productivity. Commenters are largely siding with the employee, calling the practice excessive and invasive.

Why now: Remote-work surveillance and employee privacy are hot-button issues, and the sheer scale of the monitoring demand makes the story striking.
