When a hotel owner wanted motion detectors in every bathroom, I had to say no.
Last year, a hotel owner hired me to upgrade their security system. He told me to put motion sensors in all the guest bathrooms, saying it was for safety. Most installers I know would just do it since the client is paying. But I refused because it invades privacy, even if it's legal in some areas. I explained that sensors in bathrooms can cause guests to feel watched and that isn't right. He got angry and threatened to hire someone else, but I stood my ground. In the end, I lost the job, but I sleep better knowing I didn't cross that line. Have you ever faced a similar choice where ethics clashed with profit?
