Question:
My office is right next to a different employee. Although I am not trying to listen in, I often hear his phone conversations, being that we are so close to each other. Am I obligated to try to ensure that I don’t hear him (play music or wear earplugs etc.) or if he wanted it to be private he would have to make sure that he doesn’t put his conversations on the speakerphone?
Answer:
If he puts his conversations on speakerphone, he understands that they aren’t private, and it isn’t a problem.
Best wishes
