The Legality of Recording Convos in the Office / Wearing a bug?
During the time I've been working at this hedge fund, I've personally heard an associate say to another friend/collegue that he sabotaged another associate's desk while he wasn't watching.
I've heard a guy tell me (not in writing) that he's been using so-and-so's cubicle phone to make long distance calls to his family in London.
I've heard a quant guy say to someone I assume was his wife, on his cell phone in the bathroom stall that he jacked his office computer and took it home to make it seem like it was stolen and was an excuse for the negligent trades.
My VP in the past who I had a conflict with once threatened me that he was going to sabotage my work and do "horrible shit" to my career. Unfortunately it was spoken and nobody would ever believe me on that one.
And on and on and on. The stories are endless.
I just want to know the legalities of wearing a bug / having a constant digital recorder on me at all times around the office?
Anyone already do this?
VERY curious as well. I have a recorder in my desk......
Sounds like you work with some total jackasses
Where the fuck do you work bro, jesus.
haha no, sorry for any confusion. I work at a hedge fund downtown with around $9 Billion AUM. My signature is just something some former classmates of mine started.
yeah thats pretty intense....FYL
Inadmissible in court, but you could sure fuck somebody's life up with a recording like that. Rock on, bro.
.
In all seriousness: save the tapes, nuke 'em if they fuck you, and get the hell out of that place as fast as you can: it's not worth it.
Wow your place seems like a a hilarious place to work.
you can for sure play it for and MD or one of the higher ups to cause some trouble but the courts would throw it out
