I was recorded in a meeting, I wasn't informed of it nor was I asked permission to do so. In the state I live plus Federal it is a violation of one's rights to record without them being aware. I have obtained an attorney and will being filing a lawsuit. My rights were violated.

Federally and in NY (my state) only one party needs to know about recordings.
Consent can come in many forms.
Many townhalls are recorded. Yet, with hundreds of people attending, they are not going to get consent from each individual person. They are not even required to tell you they are being recorded because someone else already noted simply by working there, you consent to be recorded.
You are not likely going to win a lawsuit unless you can prove it was for nefarious reasons or being used against you. It is just you against a behemoth. It will cost you more than the trouble it is worth. The behemoth always wins. Your lawsuit, if you truly are filing, will be quickly dismissed.
They have to have consent, that has been confirmed. They cannot just record without one's consent.
Such lies. HR and management will tell you that the calls aren’t recorded. Was it a call to your supervisor?
Pretty sure all meetings are recorded and they don’t need your consent to record company meetings. You day drinking again?
Was the recording part of a MS Teams meeting?
I believe company policy does state they have a right to record - and that is part of your employment agreement.
I have been recorded many times - both with and without me knowing it. However, because I know the agreement, it cannot bother me.
I am not apart of that group
If you are a member of management and are lieing , abusing or violating company policies you deserve to be recorded. You can’t use the recording in a court of law but you can let an attorney hear it and he can tell you what to do next. A lot of supervisors scream and insult employees and then lie about what happened . If you report it HR will lie and never admit to the company doing anything wrong.
If this was during a team's meeting, it clearly states this meeting is being recorded.
I will win, you must be new or brainwashed. I know my rights and you don't know your rights. Which is very sad. You aren't going to fly, you are going to ran over again and again.
Please file a lawsuit. So they can can you and rid this place of unproductive, negative and disruptive individuals. How can I fly like an eagle with all these turkeys I have to work with.
I am not going to lay down and let this company run over me. You can if you wish, but I am fighting for a better work situation for everyone. You will appreciate it one day.
Nothing bad was said, I was honestly. I am going to let someone run over me and do unlawful stuff. If you want to lay down and take it that is up to you. I will not take it.
Oh no! How dare you be held accountable for the words that come out of your mouth??? Who knew acting as an agent of misery for other higher paid clods would come back to bite youuuuuu 🤡
