My wife was a regional financial controller for a very large publicly traded company until today. Her boss is an undeniable hypocritical bitch with a completely toxic and paranoid attitude but we have dealt with it for about three years now.
Somehow her bosses listened to or played back a one-on-one Teams audio call she had with a coworker via Teams audio where they were (rightfully) dogging their tyrannical boss and they were both terminated. I don’t know whether to be proud or upset that I was in the background saying things like “she’s a fucking psycho bitch” in reference to her boss. I’m sure that didn’t help the situation. The call also involved him giving her inside info about how they coordinated to lowball her for the position and that they laughed about her being underpaid. They played this call back in front of her during her termination and called it “subversive.” They literally used that term.
Her company computer uses a VPN that tunnels to their corporate office, so obviously they have some kind of infrastructure set up that is able to and does store every single teams audio and video call for review on demand by management.
I understand that not every company does this or is capable of doing so, but from now on you all need to ONLY use personal devices for communication that could be considered “subversive”.
PSA: TEAMS AUDIO AND VIDEO CAN BE COMPROMISED. Only use personal devices.
