Sometimes it's both to see how you worked for them and see if you had any issues that could potentially be bad for the current company you're trying to apply
FALSE! I work in HR and, law prohibits any former employer to give a negative review or any review for that matter. All they can do is confirm the time an employee was employed with that company. Nothing else. Otherwise they are opening themself for a lawsuit.
This is why any time you are having a meeting like this with your boss you record it. Even if they do not have superiors or a corporation to answer to you can take it to the labor board or sue for discrimination (which doesn't have to be based on a trait but can be personal).
Not true. There have been numerous cases where recordings taken without knowledge have been used as evidence. It is only an official, such as police officer ect who needs a warrant, because civilians aren't granted warrants. It is dependent on what the recording is used for.
There are also numerous cases where people got arrested on wiretapping charges for recording audio with their security cameras in their own home. It depends on country, and province/state.
Wiretapping is a completely different thing than using a security camera or voice recorder. It apples to oranges. Wiretapping is listening in on someone else's conversations using technology to eavesdrop. Yes, obviously that is bad.
Have a google of two party consent laws. In many American states it's legally required that all members of a phone call or conversation for any recordings to be legal. (the differentiation being 1st instance phone call 2nd instance conversation)
I was raised around lawyers, there are plenty of gaps in that. If someone is committing a crime, which a violation of civil rights (which includes antidiscrimination) would be considered, there are loopholes. Also, there is a difference in admissibility between criminal and civil courts. But, as I also said, if it is a case of working in a large company the recording would probably only need to be given to a higher ranking boss, because the offending supervisor is an obvious liability to the company and they wouldn't want her there. If it does merit legal or civil action, it would most likely be settled out of court rather than receive negative publicity.
Or the guy is actually a really bad employee, but the labor laws in the region dont allow you to fire someone... So the only option is to push them out
