Is it normal for a California employer to include a very detailed notice in the employee handbook about employee monitoring practices and the company’s right to search your stuff? Or do I need to look for a new job immediately….. 🚩

It’s a law in CA

Pretty standard most places. Many large companies post notices like this even if they don’t actively monitor. If there was a cyber incident it’s normal for response teams to bump up against user information on systems, these notices cover that.

Haha yeah definitely not DoD or any industry that would warrant it. Hopefully it’s not an indication of company culture because I was hoping to stay for a bit.

Sounds sus

I have limited privacy experience despite being hired for that reason… Have my CIPM and CIPP/US /E and /C. Remote preferred; hubs is pilot with cool intl transfer opportunities. Money isn’t issue.
