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

I got triggered once when my buddy and I were chatting about vaping. Hr called me in 10 minutes and asked if I've ever done illicit drugs or have illegal drug paraphernalia. Realizing they probably read my Skype messages I said I vape and it's not illegal substances. End of convo

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.

Hey everyone,
I have a second round interview with a saas company selling education software. This interview will be a 30 minute zoom call with the VP of sales. I am someone from a non- traditional background with 2 years of sales-ish roles but no experience in tech sales and no straight forward sales job.
I did a tech sales bootcamp. Im just worried about what questions he will ask me? Im thinking more technical in terms of sales processes and even sales funnels? Any thoughts?
