Privacy at work is an interesting concept. Obviously, you’re entitled to a certain amount of it no matter what. You don’t sign away all your rights when you sign up for a new job. But you also have to learn the new rules around privacy concerning your job. If you work for someone else, they have a right to know what exactly you’re doing for them/under their name. But you also don’t want your employees to feel like they’re living in a surveillance state. So this can turn into a tricky situation to navigate for employers and employees alike. 

But the important thing is to maintain clear rules and boundaries. You wouldn’t want to fall into a situation where you’re hiding things from each other. As the old saying goes, «secrets secrets are no fun, secrets secrets hurt someone.» This is true, even in the workplace.
