Privacy at work is limited. Many companies have rules allowing review of phone calls, and if something improper is discovered, could be grounds for discipline. If you are in jeapordy, you should consult with experienced counsel. Call if interested 714-960-7584

-I don't have enough facts to give a complete answer, but the invasion could turn on the employer's policy. There is also a penal code section prohibiting electric eavesdropping.
