You can&#x27;t have both a &quot;right to privacy&quot; at work, and high degrees of oversight of companies. The way you have oversight of companies is by monitoring and controlling employee actions while at work. There&#x27;s no separate &quot;company&quot; that can somehow be monitored without its employees. If you want to create more privacy for employees at work, you also must be willing to subject companies to less scrutiny, because all such private channels are also places to hide malfeasance. Given the meager volume of complaints about workplace privacy (basically, we only hear about it when it directly comes up, like in this article) vs. the near-continual torrent of complaints about companies that comes up all the time, I suspect people are generally going to choose corporate oversight.
