While I value my privacy at the office, these kinds of comparisons need a bit more work to become apples-to-apples. Consider:
1: Are we clicking buttons that could kill hundreds of customers without any chance of it being stopped by external oversight and review? To underscore the danger, is the cubicle secured by an anti-terrorist door which was installed after thousands died when terrorists attacked a similar cubicle before?
2. Are the recordings specially sequestered and regularly overwritten by default, as opposed to being kept indefinitely in a big database for anybody in my reporting chain to look at on a whim?

For example, if I was "coding" inside the control room of a nuclear power plant and developing scripts to help automate the next hour of control-rod movements, I think I would be wayyyy more accepting of a 24-hour disaster recording loop in a box for the US Department of Energy.
