Should employees be recordered without their knowledge or consent?

[ccm123]

When you are on a phone bridge or conference call, you NEVER know who may be listening, or if the call is being recorded.
Keep it polite and professional, always. If you have a bone to pick with your boss, do it in a private office one-on-one and do it professionally.

I think that's unfortunate that they didn't tell you that they are recorded or that others could be in the room. I mean what if you were going to tell your supervisor something personal and didn't want anyone else to know right at that moment?

I recently was recorded on my job where a company actually created a CD of my conversation with them. They represented themselves in a make believe situation to see how I would handle myself and sent the recording to my employer. I later found out that I did in fact speak to them but they had pretended to be someone else. Did they have to have consent from my employer to do this?
