> When I asked Mirovic about privacy concerns, he said that KeenCorp does not collect, store, or report any information at the individual level. According to KeenCorp, all messages are “stripped and treated so that the privacy of individual employees is fully protected.”
They collect meta data, but it's still a group invasion of privacy.
Also, the article reads like a sales pitch for KeenCorp.

#5Maybe managers could get the same benefit if they would encourage employees to speak up and actually follow the advice some of them might have.

#6I work for a big firm. Very little of our personal communication happens over email these days. They would have to analyse chat logs instead to really understand what is going on.

You shouldn't expect any privacy regarding anything you do at or for work (other than using the restroom). The email and chat servers are theirs, and they have every right to read the emails. Good companies will at least tell you when they're reading your email, but legally they don't even have to do that.

If there’s not a Slack plugin yet, we can bet they’re working on it.

Luckily, this is not the case in Germany. Here such behavior is illegal.
We have experience what happens when you give people unrestricted access to data to do with whatever they want. Spoiler: It leads to bad outcomes.

I'm surprised things would be that clear cut even in the USA.
Though it's certainly a very American thing for employees to argue that corporations having power over them is the right and proper order of things.
