Do you have evidence that this is happening? In the moonlighting, IP theft, noncompete etc. stories
you posted higher in the thread, I didn’t see any mention of a stingray. I think it would have been mentioned because a company would have to disclose where they got the data during discovery in litigation, and it would be newsworthy if they used a stingray.
I can believe some companies would use a stringray, but I don’t think the average line manager would be brought into the loop on this. It would be reserved to intelligence operations that never see the light of day, and therefore couldn’t inform low level operations like performance management of the average employee.
I am not saying anything criminal was discussed on these phones...
If you look for higher paying jobs and discuss the matter on your personal phone with a recruiter during lunch time... Insider Threat programs will report you to your boss and HR.
If you are socially active in your private time and receive a text about a meeting, these activities will be reported to your Insider Threat program and hinder your career.
If you are having an affair (not with any coworkers) and receive a text... This will be tracked by Insider Threat program.
If you get called on your personal phone by a VC firm or competitor for a new position, this will be tracked by Insider Threat program...
If there is a full disclosure upfront, then I don't think it's that bad... But if disclosure is only given to favorites allowing some to modify their behavior... That's horrible
