Try to find the fuse which powers the device.

You're looking for anything related to radio or telemetry.

Push the fuse back in when you're done working for the day.

If they ask what was wrong, pretend you don't know what they mean. It's not your truck. Maybe they should have their technician look into it, everything seemed fine on your end.

Quit. Let them know why you quit. You are a truck driver and can get another job within a week.

You can of course quit now, but that will mean you're job hunting while unemployed, which is a far worse scenario. You can also just put up with it, but it sounds like that's a shit scenario too.

So the best course of action you can immediately take right now is go window shopping for a new job until you find something you like. Whether it comes by this week or six months from now, you have the luxury of having nothing to lose here and you have the best hand.

Even look at getting a new certification if you feel like it and if you can—ball's in your court. Every time that little bastard undermines you, let it be the fuel that's encouraging you off to greener pastures. Explain that in your exit interview, and remark on how they've come up with an interesting employee retention strategy.

What can I do?

Varies wildly.

Some people are in unions, others "at will" employment.

This is something to ask coworkers and hopefully a union rep.

It will be interesting when they can't keep strong workers because they've scared the shit out of them.

Find a company that's already unionized or form a union within your current company.

You might also tell them that the AI is distracting because it's constantly talking, which is likely true anyway.

I feel ya, mate. I've got the same thing in my company vehicle. It absolutely irritates the shit out of me that anyone above my level of the hierarchy can look at me any time they want.

I point the inside camera up except when I piss in a bottle (:

Hi. 3F Copenhagen member here. I believe the scaffolders club are organising something over a similar situation that is, however, less intrusive than yours. Your situation is like a horror story version of what the scaffolders are getting (GPS tracking, logging of their company vehicles. They don't have AI... Yet...).

Do you have a union you can turn to?
