A Ford employee says he lost his job after being accused of stealing a $1.95 cookie, only for the company to later realize he’d actually paid for it.
60-year-old Kurt Kromm had worked at Ford’s Kentucky Truck Plant for 11 years, but told Shifting Gears he was fired after the company believed security footage showed him taking a cookie from the break room without paying.
Since they really like to film your face while driving and love stealumg data for… Reasons, that’s a no for me
Im not defending privacy overton pushing shenanigans, they are all bullshit.
But that face camera thing is about to become an EU mandate.
All the companies are gearing up for data suction (EU or otherwise), if they don’t already have a robust system in place.
China is bad for it, yes, but so is everyone else.
It’s all bullshit from all sides
edit: I have since been updated on the actual wording of the mandate and it doesn’t specify face cameras specifically, just some mechanism for dealing with drowsy/distracted drivers.
I expect most companies to do this with camera’s but it’s not a specific camera mandate.
