People always have the option of not committing crimes as well, that removes the worry of work communications being recorded

A civil dispute does not imply a crime has been committed. Being sued does not imply wrong doing.

Are you simply saying the infamous "nothing-to-hide" quote in another way? That's ridiculous.

  Yes, at work you should have nothing to hide, specially if you're an employee cos the employer will surely let the bus drive over you and then drive in reverse just to be sure there's no risk of you being alive.

Amazon will just fire and replace you with someone who will commit crimes. Happens quite often, usually via a "PIP".

  And that's fine, not a chance I'd ever commit a crime for ANY employer. I've had to ask managers to sign off on shit I knew was unlawful before and I'd do it again in the blink of an eye. No salary is worth the risk of going to jail. It's just another job.

    A manager authorizing you to commit a crime hardly absolves you of wrongdoing, legally or morally.

      It doesn’t, but also makes the manager not want to do anything as they are usually looking for someone to take the fall.

If you aren't willing to go to jail for your job, you probably should not be willing to commit crimes just because you have a manager dumb enough to provide documentation implicating both of you in the crime.

You could be completely innocent but are fined/liable anyways because you asked your colleague to lunch over a non-recorded chat.

The point is the requirement to keep those records is onerous.
