They're not constantly monitoring your email, they usually only check if they have a reason to, because they have to put in a request to IT.
Can managers read your one on one messages with another coworker in teams? 🤔

Boy I had a doozy of a meeting one day in my younger years when my boss decided to be a in a pissy mood and read everyone's chat logs.
Most of us were all young recent grads and we used to flirt like crazy in chats (she didn't care about that) but we also used to talk mad greasy about people in the chat (she did care about that) and when she started reading me our messages I felt like I'd seen bodies rise from the grave.
She let that shyt go and we got back on great terms but it was rough sailing for a while

It's possible for an admin to record/save everything from calls (though there are restrictions there), to shared files, to messages from Teams. Whether your IT dept is actively doing that though, is a different story.
You should assume though if you're on an enterprise work computer, everything you do on there is being monitored

My manager was really messy. Played it cool with everyone but her own personal life is in shambles. Divorced, kids left her, spreading subliminal info.
I think she was mostly leaking info and foreshadowing that it came from other team members when it was all her. There was some truth like there was a snake on my team but she was extremely conniving and God don't like ugly so I'm glad I'm done with it.

Yup, my manager was moving messy af lol. Everything I posted was on teams specifically.
Not only that but I believe all managers, pm's, etc have global authority to read everyone's teams.
One of my PM's read how I responded to someone else on a 1 on 1 teams session back to me and I was curious.
Either the other hoe screenshot it and sent it to her or the PM looked for it.
I believe a lot of people were terminated based on their previous teams convos, not on their actual work.

I barely use it. I’m definitely not sending personal messages on there. Strictly work related
You have to be insane to talk crazy on any work device or messaging system. I don’t even make personal calls on my work cell. I don’t discuss anything outside of work on my company issued devices. Smarten up nikkaz.

They can definitely see your chats. I was talking about leaving to go to another company with one of my friends at work at my previous job and the manager pulled me to the office and asked about it. I lied and said I was just joking but I knew my days were numbered at that point
Your work devices aren't your property. I wouldn't do or say anything on them that I wouldn't want to be made public.
