00:00 Employers have the ability to spy on their employees without their knowledge or consent, and it is becoming increasingly common for employers to include surveillance clauses in employment agreements.

04:37 Employers have the right to spy on their employees and can monitor their internet and email usage, with some statistics suggesting that a significant number of employees have been fired for email and internet misuse.

09:01 Employers can legally lie about surveilling their employees and have the right to monitor their employees' activities on company devices and networks, with some examples of surveillance methods including packet sniffers, log files, desktop monitoring programs, phones, closed circuit cameras, and GPS tracking.

13:31 Packet sniffers are a common method of monitoring computer networks and can capture all types of information, including websites visited, emails sent, and downloads made, but there are legal ramifications to consider when using them.

18:17 Employers can use desktop monitoring programs to track all of your computer activity, including keystrokes, websites visited, and emails sent, even if you delete them, and log files can be accessed remotely to gather evidence against you.

22:57 Employers can listen in on phone calls and read emails, but the laws around wiretapping and email monitoring are complex and have loopholes that allow employers to gather evidence against employees.

27:33 Employers have the right to monitor employees' personal devices and activities while on the company network, but if employees use their own devices and are not on the company network, employers cannot legally spy on them.

32:06 If you suspect your company is monitoring your online activity, you can check your computer's processes and compare them with your coworkers, and also search for any unfamiliar names online to see if they are spyware, but ultimately, if your company is surveilling you, there is very little you can do about it.

36:42 Many offices have cameras installed to prevent theft and monitor employee behavior, including watching what employees are doing on their computers.

41:05 No, I'm saying like people who go, yeah. New Jersey, North Carolina, and Illinois, evidently. It's like the boss from office space. Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. I also need to add to this that here we are talking about educated people and not end-users. Street people is what he says. The riffraff. Over here in Europe, this is unacceptable. It is a sign of disrespect and ignorance. Is this normal practice in the U.S.? Should I worry about it? If you guys could answer, that would be amazing.
