For the upcoming layoffs - be sure to record everything. It comes under One Party Consent Laws, and the one-party consent rule means that if one party of the conversation has given permission to be recorded, then it is lawful. In this case, you would be the ‘one-party’ who has given consent and you must be a part of the recorded conversation. There are currently 38 states which permit one-party consent recordings, including New Jersey and New York.

Your imagination is clearly narrow.

40yrs and counting Lou Sir.
To anyone here that said "you should leave and find another job" is a corporate dupa kisser. Some workers have a great environment without any issues and they get a new boss who wants to move up the corporate ladder by firing older workers or just making their lives miserable. Tell me where this justifiable!
To clarify what@1cfh said, "PHUCK THE COBC!!!"
"Anyone that has to resort to taping a Supervisor interacting with them has serious issues. It would probably be in their best interest to leave the business. I can’t imagine any scenario that can trigger this type of activity"
haven't been with the company long, have you?
AT&T has always recorded work place conversations and calls. Did you just fall off a turnip truck?
Record it and let your attorney decide what it is worth. Super Simple, why other think it!
I was s-xually harassed by my boss, I couldn’t prove it since he denied it, nothing happened, and I was fired. I wish I had recorded
If you are referring to recording a conversation upon being notified of being surpluses, any thing that means anything is given t9 yo7 in writing, and nothing your supervision says is relevant except for his apology for you being surplused. There are no deals they can make.
What do hope to get out of this. You are fired. Get over it.
Illegal or not , its irrelevant, what do you hope to accomplish with it.. The only time you could use it for your favor is in a legal proceeding to make your case,, in which case the legality of the recording would be in question by the defendant (ATT) lawyers... Outside of that what is it good for.???
Anyone that has to resort to taping a Supervisor interacting with them has serious issues. It would probably be in their best interest to leave the business. I can’t imagine any scenario that can trigger this type of activity. I can imagine the type of person that would stoop to this behavior. Basically a poor performer that refuses to follow directions.
Can this be done in Texas? Our conversations happen in an open floor call center. Phuck the COBC!!! If your a– is getting fired or surplused, record it if you need it for future legal proceedings. My damn boss lies and exaggerates all the time. Nobody will watch out for you other than you. In the end, the union are in managements back pocket, at least in Texas.
Also- please remember recording at work is a COBC, and you will be fired if you are caught doing so.
The OP is correct in certain situations.
Most one-party consent states require the convo to take place in an environment that has no expectation of privacy.
For example, if the conversation occurred in a cafeteria setting, you could record without their consent, since they have no expectation of privacy.
But if it occurred while riding together in a car, or in a private office, you could be breaking the law in some states.
There are some states, that allow one party consent to record even if personal settings, as long as one of the people being recorded is part of the conversation.
The laws can differ for in person vs over the phone conversations.
It is very important that if you record anything, you consult an experienced attorney before you let anyone know you did so. Keep record of where you were and who all was for every recording.
What could you do with it? From previous urls posted here no attorney will take an age discrimination suit. You can't get punitive damages. You can only get your job back, back wages and attorney costs. Oral contracts are not valid.
You still have to tell the person you’re recording them even if they consent or not.
Don’t do it Before consulting an attorney. It may be illegal in your state or against federal law.
