Is it legal for my male boss to put a video camera in my office an record me without my knowledge?
Don’t want to loose my job but I have another job I go to after this an I used to change in my office cause it was more private than the public restroom. But there was no camera in my office when I started but there is one in there now. An I font know how long it’s been there or why he put it there.

Under the laws of all states int his country, an employee has no justifiable expectation of privacy in the workplace with the exception of the bathroom for privacy purposes. If there is a video camera in your office, then such is fine legally. You need to advise your employer however that you will change in your office.
