It doesn't matter how you feel on this topic. It's 100% legal to record conversations, emails, etc. in offices excanged between employees. You are
NOT in your home. You are NOT paying for your offices connection. You are there to work. The logging is NOT setup so they can get their cookies off
reading your emails from your ex-wife demanding this months child support. It's not there so they can see how your stock shares are doing. And it
sure as hell isn't there for them to see all the wonderful mail from the porn sites you have. There are MANY concerns these days with employers,
between inside trading and embezzlement, these issues have to be monitored for closely. However, you DO have to be aware that the employer IS logging,
and you HAVE to be aware of what they are logging. That should have been taken care of when you signed your wonderful stack of papers when you were
hired, which most of you probably neglected to even read it. Not to mention, we ARE still at a state of war. That brings up an entirely new set of
laws. When in a state of war, rules/laws change drasticly. They no longer even need propable cause to search you. That was abolished a few months ago,
to be exact. And why would you be worried about this anyway? Are you hiding something? Spending a little too much time goofing off at work? Just do
your work and go home. It's plain and simple. That or quit your job.
