Comment on Does employer have to tell if they're spying on you through your work computer?

Whether they legally have to tell you or not, it's good practice to assume they will spy on you. </tinfoil_hat>

This is not tinfoil_hat territory. I thought it was pretty much given that everything you do on company-owned hardware is subject to being monitored and/or logged. Maybe I've worked too long in BigTech, but I don't recall the last company I worked for where this wasn't part of the paperwork you agree to when you start and/or receive a company-supplied device.

Same when I worked in Kmart and Subway. I was on camera while on the clock.

When I worked at the bread factory I was on camera while on the clock.

I always assume all computer work is the same. I'm on camera all the time.

That said I've a chip-clip over the camera and my earphones (plugged into the computer) have a hard mic shutoff.
