I’m actually curious of the severity and consequences, I’ve never been staff and if your just trying to make sure a staff member is doing there job correctly that seems ok. But I also understand that it’s the higher ups job to do that.
Spectating people, let alone staff, can unintentionally be quite intrusive. Staff may spectate other staff with prior consent but there's no real reason for admins to be doing it otherwise. Believe me, I had it done to me by staff not in lead team and it's not nice having people breathing down your neck for seemingly no reason.
It's the lead team's job to ensure moderators and admins are handling situations correctly, portraying the rest of the team in good light but also not breaking rules themselves (obviously, moderators and admins should also do their due diligence). Super admins+ have access to the necessary facilities to log any information they get on staff who may be misbehaving or otherwise not fulfilling their role properly. There's obviously a trust element in the mix too.
