100% chance someone at your company has access to read them. 0% chance anyone actually does.

I used to work for a different major consulting company while my partner worked at a big4. I sent an email to his work account from my work account one day just talking about the usual nothing like evening plans. I got a bounced email from something like <deloitte-monitoring@myfirmname.com> that said the monitoring mailbox was full. Felt like a crack in the matrix.

They certainly have the ability, but my guess is they have flagged terms and will only read if one of those terms is used

If they're logging it - wouldn't that make all chat history discoverable in a lawsuit? Seems like a huge liability if they're keeping records but not communicating that to employees.

Honestly with text analytics it’s pretty easy to do it in an automated fashion

I love how everyone thinks their companies aren't using automation to scan for troublesome phrases or more. Of course no human is going through it but it's trivial for a machine to do so. Also not allowing your chat history to be saved and accessible by you is not the same as it not being scannable by them.

What do you guys think are some of the trigger words?

Haha “crack in the matrix”

Was it the SAME cat?

I doubt they persist it for very long. They’re not required to keep it and it’s discoverable if they have it, so I’m pretty sure they dump it.
