1 edit | Re: . That leads me to believe your company monitors its employees phone calls, which may or may not be legal. I mean look at the list of stuff you say they "allow" and stuff they don't. Porn and P2P is a quite obvious no-no at work, but MySpace? IM? All the stuff that's easy to monitor they allow. | |

It's well established: It's their phone system and if they choose to monitor you, tough nuts. Why do you think that you get that warning about your calls may be monitored for "training purposes" whenever you call a major corporation? Why do you think CS reps just sit and spout the corporate line? Because they are being monitored and they know it. All your employer has to do is let it be known they are monitoring you, just like they do on the computer that THEY own, on the network THEY own.
Bottom line is that if you want privacy, use your own cellphone or computer, not the companies. | |

And people wonder why everyone hates the megacorps. It's because of attitudes like that, attitudes that treat employees as disposable workers. That's the major problem of all the neo-con capitalists. They've all lost their humanity. I work for a smaller company, that DOESN'T monitor it's employees. We can shop, do banking, etc, all in work time. What matters to the company is that WE DO OUR JOBS. We are measured based on results, not on if there's a warm body sitting at a desk. I allow my staff absolute freedom to do what they want to do. All I ask is that they complete their tasks in a timely manner.

While you are trying to make this political let me ask you this, is it just neo-con capitalists in charge of corporations? What about neo-libs in charge of corporations? Or are all the neo-libs just poor black men from the south who have nothing at all and live paycheck to paycheck? I'll answer that one for you, NOT. If you don't like the idea of your phone being monitored don't work for that company. But of course you won't do that. It's way too easy to whine from behind a keyboard then it is to actually change what you don't like in your life. You whine about neo-caps but you'll take their money anyday, damned hypocrite.

Companies can monitor any employee's phone calls. Actually, our company encourages employees, since we all work 10-12 hours a day/5 days a week, to play a video game, log into MySpace, chat over IM, watch YouTube, etc. to relieve stress. We don't monitor phone calls either. We do see if people are making LD calls (but with everyone walking around with a cellphone no problems). Employees are trusted so never seen a problem personally. | |
