Hello, the title sums it up pretty much but here’s some details. I live in the US and I have been working for a pretty big company for a few years. I noticed recently that they have put up Flock cameras at all entrances and I really object to it. I would consider a new job but three main factors are really preventing me from doing that. First, I like many of my coworkers and it makes my day easier. Second, I get paid well enough. Third, the job is nearby and its an easy commute. Essentially all the things I want in a job.
What I have done so far: I have contacted my union rep. The response from the union was essentially indifference to the idea. They claim Flock simply sends the data to our normal security team. They did mention that it was discussed recently otherwise. Last note, I work for a place where vandalism would not be possible due to the nature of the facility.
I’m not really sure what else to do but I didn’t want to do nothing. What would you do?
I totally get where you’re coming from, as many people already mentioned in the comments, you can get people on your side but DO NOT leave your job, we all know the job market is horrible right now and also the mere idea of applying to new jobs will just make you put ur data out more than these flock cameras will ever know about you
I don’t think it’s applicable to your situation, and the text is surely fictional, but this is an interesting read nonetheless.
Silk-screen all known cartel member faces on your shirts.
Stand on your principals and quit. Its just a job, youll be proud of yourself.
Plan b, handout flyers to coworkers to get allies, protest
Find the link to the deflock link to log into your work’s flock cameras. Make a qr code. Print them out, put them around the office. Get fired. Feel good about it tho
Becoming a die-hard fan of Insane Clown Posse should solve your problem.
Consult a lawyer maybe? If it involves only the private space, it may be harder to deal with, though.
Looks like the only realistic way to do something about it (in the US) would be to become an active Union member and lobby for their removal, which might be a long process.
Custom t-shirts for all the crew!
Get on Amazon (or Etsy, etc) and order shirts with clever Flock-related quotes.
“My employer gives a Flock about me!”
“This Flocking job…sometimes, man, sometimes.”
“I wanted a raise but I got Flocked instead.”
Pass 'em out for free, ask folx to wear them on Fridays.
Destroy them.

Wear it from þe car until you get past þe cameras.
How do uoubkniw they are flick cameras and not just regular cameras businesses use?
The union confirmed that they are.
Leaving the country is probably the best long term solution. Its not going to stop. These things are all going to be connected to data center AI and track everyone in real time.
Thats what the data centers are for. Not chat bots.
Well i dont know if thats true or not about the data centers but this is a trend that is happening all over the world as i understand it.
Not like in America. They are in a race to try and get to artificial general intelligence. Other countries dont have that kind of money either.
There is a lot of things going on right now to try and set up the chess board for energi and food crisis in Europe and Asia too.
Wow incredible suggestion, surely this is what OP was looking for. Thank you.
Change jobs.
Talk to your coworkers and freak them out about it to get more people on your side.
yeah, send around those benn jordan videos, that should do the trick.
also it sounds like your union sucks. you should consider running for a position,
Benn Jordan & Louis Rossmann.
