The first time some coworkers told me the personal things they discussed with other work friends over the internal chat service, I was in shock over the stupidity. Also internal shit talk to other people in the company. Shocked
In a previous role our QA team went from 5 to 2 due to this sort of thing happening. one person chose to offer his resignation rather than get sacked, another returned whilst looking for other work (which he found fairly easily as he was really good) and the 3rd guy is still there in post. Interestingly though the guy they were bitching about was fairly universally disliked and this made life even harder for him which I thought was somewhat unfair on him as it wasn’t him who was at fault in this instance, he was just an arse.
When i was younger and only a few years into my career, I and a coworker talked crap about our 2 bosses for a while over Google chat. It’s what we were asked to use back them internally, but it wasn’t even our work accounts. We only talked because they were being absolutely awful. Well, joke was on us when they got suspicious and searched our computers and found the chats were locally saved… Oops! They gave us another chance shockingly but did chew us out. I’m still at this place, but none of those people exist here anymore and that was super long ago.
I joked to my wife “hey I got a joke I got to tell you about the government away from microphones” and my phone’s flashlight turned on across the room. My nsa agent is working overtime.
does anyone truly believe there exists a chat that is NOT recorded?

I once shit talked to coworkers about another coworker/supervisor. Except, by accident, I sent it to the coworker/supervisor.
Good times.

a very real possibility to be worried about!
The only chat not recorded is the one that happens in person with no electronic devices nearby.

Hell, I feel like that’s even up for debate
Um, yeah, like, every single OSS one using E2EE
In this context? No. But what’s more interesting is precisely what is recorded.
Roger Wilco, lol.
