At my present workplace, we have cameras with microphones. They also have installed spyware on laptops and desktops, to be able to see the screens of employees. They also go through mails and have a list of all web traffic done by employees.

Which is one of the reasons I've handed my resignation a few days ago.

In most places where I worked, I signed an explicit consent form stating that all company-provided means of communication are for work purposes only, and may be audited. I suppose it's required by law.

So my rule of thumb for workplace is: expect no privacy.

If you want to use work-provided email, slack, etc to discuss things which you'd be very uncomfortable discussing in your office in the open, especially in the presence of your bosses, don't. Find a different venue.
