Apparently direct messages can be read by your employer on slack. Did everybody know about this? This seems very concerning... https://nypost.com/2018/03/22/slack-will-allow-employers-to-read-your-private-messages/
I don't think they do but they can if they need to. Company servers= company apps.
You are alerted if they are read, as well. That’s an upside of Slack - you will know if your DMs have been accessed and they have to provide a reason before accessing (from a drop-down if applicable reasons like compliance and HR concerns)
Can only be done with a workspace audit/compliance report - only workspace/grid owners can pull these.
Really? I was told there was a channel called “All” which is available to admins that shows every message that is shared on every channel and DM
Nope they definitely make it a pain to get to but it is possible
Yes. Answer is yes. Even if it’s hosted company can request...
Microsoft people, can employers read Teams DMs? Because I've said a few things forgetting it's a work chat, but usually edit the comment then delete haha
Assume everything you type on your work computer or through a service provided by your employer can be read by them. The thing on your side is that it is a shit ton of data and no one wants to. This only really happens when you otherwise draw attention to yourself and cause an investigation
Yes. Am teams admin. Full access to everything you do.
It’s a company asset being used on the company network using company hardware. They can do whatever they want
sure, but it's complete micromanagement and weird to do
I don't think you know what micromanagement is...
And the generally don't not unless they suspect you of something and need evidence one way or the other
No one has the time to just read your IMs for the sake of watching you. Of course this is a *possibility*. Ever think legal or HR would want to view your IMs if you’re accused of harassment online? Don’t be dumb. Of course this is possible.
It's not possible without pulling a report or data export on a specific user or set of users and the permissions for that report are typically very restricted, I can't imagine a sane reason to grant that privilege level to Managers because it's a global permission not "per team".
Exactly. It’s not your manager reading them.
More like HR/Legal if required for a personnel abuse or legal investigation
yes but they would only review them if you were accused of something like hostility
And if someone is concerned about that, they’re clearly doing something they shouldn’t be.
Never used it. Accenture uses Microsoft teams.
I’ve also never used it since everybody is wondering.
