I recently left job of over 7 years with the company & after giving 4 weeks notice & them trying to force me to take my A/L so didn’t have to work the full period, I gave in & advised them I would take the 7 days I had so will work the other period out (needed to get paid) during this time was treated terribly as their is a toxic bullying environment that one day they said why don’t you finish up today.
I was happy to be getting out & trying to get everything finalised & packed up only to find 5 weeks later they called a colleague into the HR to advise on speaking with external parties about work related matters. They had also resigned so working out his 4 weeks.
He was advised that they were aware of my conversations with him on FB private messenger since I had left & also told him about other conversations I had with other colleagues I had worked with - in my role I had responsibility to post & respond on FB on behalf of the company so whether in my quick exit didn’t fully log out of computer or mobile (I thought I did restore to factory settings) but I can’t see how else they would have access - during these private conversations there were comments on toxic environment & bullying of certain management which was all on private devices & private FB messenger.
I feel totally violated that they have read my personal conversations even when I left the company & it would have been obvious that they should have just logged out my profile if that is what was how they accessed my private conversations! Also it is my reputation I concerned about as my conversations & feelings were disclosed in private environment after I had left the company.
Any advice of what I can do?
