Can my employer "hear" my SKYPE phone calls? Can SKYPE be my answer to the privacy I desperately need?
I have a, shall we just say, long-distance relationship, with a certain someone in the company who is far away. Due to time-zone and family matters, I can ONLY call this certain someone during the day. My phone bills are monitored by a certain domestic someone at home. And, of course, at work, I couldn't use the telephone as it's not business related.
What about SKYPE? Can SKYPE be my answer to privacy?
I already plugged in a microphone and headphone and I noticed SKYPE calls to my friend show up as a phone number of 000012345 so I can converse with my friend.
But my question is what can my employer "tell" about that connection? Can they "hear" my SKYPE phone calls if they wanted to? Do employers typically "listen" to this type of activity?
Please advise me as this is a personal matter all mixed up with work and the need to remain private.
Thank you very much for your advice Susan
