On the other hand, if someone recored my whole work day every day I would not be happy. I don't think you would stay at your job of that was a condition of it.
There has to be a better solution to this issue.. extended recordings in an emergency, triggers based on conditions, private keys for pilots... IDFK, cause I try not to get involved in engineering that might KILL someone.
I'd be perfectly fine with not voice recording people who's daily work may or may not impact the global delivery of cat pictures.
I think if you choose a job where there are several hundred people's lives on the line relying on you doing your job professionally and correctly, the expectation of privacy argument is somewhat less convincing.

Some people literally have no choice. Do you think _any_ Amazon delivery driver is "happy" with their on-job surveillance? Do you think _any_ call centre worker is "happy" with "calls are recorded for quality and training purposes"?
As everything, it’s all about the leverage each side has.
Many people live with this reality every day already. Remote workers with screen sharing software, certs installed so companies can spy on everything you do, retail workers under cameras all day.
(I agree that it's stressful and high stakes, which is why we record it.)
I don't think I would care. Especially if it is only read out very infrequently (when we have an accident.)
I’m just curious, because I personally work on things that could kill people directly or indirectly.
I like the fact that I can say "People may have acted like someone was going to die, but my code never killed any one"... its a preference, I want to know I can have a bad day, fuck up, and not have to carry the weight for my whole life.
