Your options (pick any combination you please):

  • do whatever you can do to make it more bearable in the short term (turn down volume of AI warnings, whatever else you can configure)
  • Unionize
  • Bargain with your company/Negotiate your contracts
  • Get hired by a new company that gives a shit about their employees
  • Become an owner-operator
  • start a trucking firm with a bunch of other drivers that are fed up with that bullshit
  • Find a different kind of job that doesn't require AI to surveil and harass you.

Those are good options but I get paid 32.75 per hour during the week and 40.75 on weekends and its a pretty cushy job. Hard to just get new job.

When i was fed up with the bosses in my cushy job, I made the job more cushy by starting my independent company. Same work, more money, no assholes treating me like shit and i learned from that. Now my colleges also have a cushy job, with a competent, nice boss.

Not currently but it's a software dev company anyways. We have to logistics software though. And not the asshole kind.

They probably know that it's a cushy job amd want to replace you with someone who will work for less.

In the end, your mental and physical health should always come before the job. Money isn't that nice if you are stressed wreck. You should still look for other work just so you at least have some options if it ever gets too awful dealing with all the bullshit your current work forces on you. It's probably not going to get much better and any solution regarding disabling/mitigating the current surveillance is likely temporary at best.

Just try to do it in such way your current employer doesn't know about it, just in case they get uppity about it. So use only devices managed by yourself for it and dont talk about it with others working for same employer.

Why is organizing not an option? Seems like you've ignored every reply here regarding unions, when in reality it's the only possible way to ever get rid of the AI (and probably get you better pay and benefits)
