The reality check on this particular comment is that this comment was left by a terminated (disgraced!) employee who YES, was seen on the security camera arriving almost two hours late every day for work, then leaving for extended lunches for an entire week while we were on an annual family vacation. We do not spy on employees. The office foyer NEST camera is within full display of our entire team, and its purpose is entirely for security purposes as our office is accessible from the street with floor-to-ceiling glass doors and we have a lot of expensive computers.
The NEST camera sends notifications to our iPhones when there is activity in the office foyer. In this case, we were extremely disappointed to see this person breaking our trust, while we were thousands of miles away but we’re glad to have known sooner rather than later. We are a dog-friendly office but she was also bringing in her barking puppy all week long without our permission. All in all, we felt like she was not trustworthy. There was also a series of lies she was caught in about a trip. (Sigh.)
C was hired as a senior team member in a business development role and was expected to come up with ideas of her own to develop an entirely new division of the business. This was the premise of her employment. She was not able to rise to the challenge and struggled to come up with ideas or plans of any kind. She was promptly fired after we returned from our vacation and didn’t take it well.
