What assumptions might employees make about their privacy at work?

Employees may assume that their personal communications and activities are private, believing that company policies and practices protect their confidentiality. They might also think that their workspace, including emails and digital interactions, is not being monitored unless explicitly stated. Additionally, employees may believe that the information collected by employers is solely for performance evaluation and not for other purposes. These assumptions can lead to misunderstandings about the extent of surveillance and data usage in the workplace.
