My manager secretly recording 1:1 performance review conversation on his smart watch. I know because at the end of our conservation the watch went off and said something and he hit the button and awkwardly pretended nothing happened. I should’ve confronted him, but fear retaliation. Is this legal?
It is illegal in California
This is in Bay Area California
How sure you are about recording? Because if he wasn't really recording, it can backfire
I can’t ever prove if he did record or not, but my hunch and the way he behaved was quite obvious.
The only way to prove it is if you record him, that'd be illegal tho, who cares if he was recording?
What's the point of his recording it?
Send him an email and say “thanks for sitting down today. Btw not sure what happened but it sounded like the watch was recording the session - I just wanted to know if that was the case and if everything is ok”
Just let it go
Let it go , not worth questioning your manager
I’ve seen people doing this is random other meeting - like doc reviews... odd
I have team members in their 50s, and after lunch they can’t control sleep. Have seen them use all kinds of recording devices.
Let it go
That depends on which state you live in
