What type of consequences would a boss have if they were found out to be recording conversations between employees within the work place? I'm in Canada and not sure of the laws about this but there was a very private discussion today in the back room of my office place where an employee confided to tell me very sensitive things that were happening within the work place and we have concerns about the possibility that our boss may have sound on the video surveillance he has. If they or I were to be let go because of a private conversation (coming to me as I am assistant manager in regards to upper management for a legitimate reason, no gossip) what would the outcome be?
