Not in a commercial banking division. I would expect that to be at least a reprimand, if not straight termination. There are very strict regulations about that sort of thing in banking. You are absolutely not allowed to discuss work on non-official media without approval. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but it's actively and strictly controlled.

The SEC levied more than a billion in fines over text messages on non official media without even having to prove that those texts where eg insider trading, https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2022-174 https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2022-174 They did this entirely on the basis that banks should have known that everything needs to be archived and monitored.

This is definitely one of those cases where, if you don't like having your work activity monitored, then finance is probably not the industry for you.
