The NSA aren’t the only ones watching - so is your boss.


Did you know your employer has the right to spy on you? 

A lot of what you do on company time or on company equipment is fair game. According to Lewis Maltby, JD, president of the National Work Rights Institute, has a list of what they can legally look at:

* What you send: They can check out any email sent through your company’s network. That includes mail and messages from your personal account, laptop, tablet or smartphone using their Wi-Fi. 

* What your post: Online activity on your company’s time or network is on their radar. Even if it’s on your own time or equipment, employers can legally monitor Internet content by or about their employees.

* What you say: Your workplace could even be bugged. In most states, employers have the right to install hidden audio recording devices.

* Where you go: If you have a company car or cell phone, Big Boss could be watching via GPS - even on your personal endeavors. For as little as $5 a month, they can subscribe to GPS trackers that can see where you’re going and what time you get home.
