I've seen first hand people high up in startups monitoring what their employees say in assumed-to-be-private chats to each other. Technically it was part of the employee agreement that nobody read.
It's not a perfect, but one way to tell that the startup you're in is monitoring you is that they hand you a computer with your login already created. If you're opening up the Apple box yourself then it's much more likely to be free from keyloggers, etc. But don't trust shared sign-in stuff like Google Apps for Business to be private.

I’m glad I don’t have that problem.
