If I do a zoom call with my therapist on my work laptop, technically can my employer see/record/transcribe my therapy session?

Dont use company resources for personal things
If you dont ahve company computer, make one
Dont use the computer you use for work for anything else
I have seen people lose 6 figure jobs because they decided to do other things while on their "work" computer. Sure it was theirs but guess what, they shared their screen in a company Teams meeting. Done.

Dont mix work and personal IT. Ever. Dont.

Its not about the therapy, its the separation. Im sitting at my desk with typing this on my personal iMac. Next to it is the Window machine I use for Army work. Next to that is the Company laptop for the place Im doing a corporate fellowship with. None of them mix.

If you log into your google account on your work computer you are essentially giving your employer access to your search history unless you have actively turned that off. Same with youtube.

If you haven't turned of prefetch in Chrome - something you might not be able to do on your work computer - google will prefetch your most recent searches under the assumption that you might want them again. Think about how that could be very bad.

Ive done the Army equivalent of HR misconduct investigations. One of the first things we do is seize any government IT as well as all of their network activity records, including anything we can get from accessing government networks from personal devices. Its rare that the "smoking gun" isnt in those records.

Dont mix your personal and work lives.

Just buy a personal laptop for like $300

Don’t think they would be able to record or transcribe, but IT can definitely see activity/ therapist contact on it. But, why would you use a work laptop for it, curious?

I have an iPad but I don’t like how the camera is to the left. With a laptop the camera is in the center so it feels more like eye contact

Lol happy to help 😉

I’m totally empathetic to people that miss offices and traveling. I understand your reasons why, I truly do.

For me personally, after non-stop weekly travel for 4 straight years, not traveling has made me realize how much I enjoy being home. Spending time with family, sleeping in your own bed, consistent exercise schedule, etc.

I for one hope consulting becomes more of a hybrid travel model (i.e. travel 1-2x per month or as needed). Else it won’t be for me.

Anyways, just some thoughts.
