Is there a law that prohibits it?

[CrazyPaul]

For example, at work my supervisor or co-worker and I communicate by writing and at the end, he/she keeps the note (on which we wrote down) as an evidence so is there a law that prohibits it? In a hearing world, there's a law that doesn't allow a supervisor or an employee to tape-record another employee's conversation at work.

My supervisor told me to prove that it's not allowed to keep a note that we wrote down after I asked her to throw it away. If there is a law regarding this, please help me find it so I can make a copy and show it to my supervisor.

That is not the issue. The issue on hand is that this person is experiencing discrimination because the boss is keeping ALL record of written communications between them.

I would suggest to do things differently. Like responding ONLY on your smartphone. Let the boss write.

 

[Steinhauer]

ah. And don't let the boss have a copy of your responses.

It's not the same thing as recording because it is easy to forge handwriting but more difficult to forge a tape recording.

My friend uses a dry erase board at work because she had the same problem with her boss, she got a 'pocket' sized one at office depot its about the same size as a small notebook.

Not sure if thats helpful or not.

do you want to take a risk with that? once you're charged with perjury - your creditability is shot for life in any legal proceeding including child custody case, divorce proceeding, work-related lawsuit, IRS audit, etc.

You can usually protect yourself with a do not disclose clause in e-mails... As far as hand written notes, there isn't much to my knowledge that you can do. The dry erase board idea is a good idea.

So far there's no answer to my question in this topic. It seems that we don't have a law regarding this issue. Is that correct? I thought it would violate our deaf rights. By the way, I told my supervisor that from now on, I would use a seperate paper for my written responses only and hold it up for her to read it but not to touch it because I don't fucking trust her. The bitch laughed at me thinking I am being silly. What the fuck? Since she doesn't respect me, she's being unprofessional (giving me a bad attitude- hint: she's black).

Maybe get ahold of her supervisor, I don't think your being silly at all! She is being very unprofessional and even if there isn't a law specifically you still have rights. And there should be no reason for her to keep copies of your conversations! Talk to her supervisor and see if they can help her understand how to act like a professional.

Not sure what her being black has to do with it.

Sorry, but if you are using writing to communicate about issues at work or issues related to the work environment, it is not illegal for the supervisor to keep the note. It is not a breach of your confidentiality if he is not making the correspondance available to everyone.

The same would hold true for emails or texts in the work environment. For one thing, it serves as documentation that accommodation is being made.
