| Sep 17, 2018 at 17:03 | comment | added | PoloHoleSet | Here is a passage about recording conversations, including the list of states that are two-party consent states (11 two-party, 38 states and DC one-party, Hawaii one-party unless the recording device is hidden). dmlp.org/legal-guide/recording-phone-calls-and-conversations | |
| Sep 15, 2018 at 4:27 | comment | added | Loren Pechtel | @DanK How is this retaliation? He's not retaliating against the person who was harassed, they already quit. The person being threatened has done nothing to him, there's nothing to retaliate against. This is just a case of applying a lot of pressure to do something wrong. | |

| Sep 12, 2018 at 22:50 | comment | added | Bill Leeper | This is big hairy deal huge. This is obstruction of justice and if you follow through you could be jailed. Your manager that told you this needs reported up the company chain, larger companies should have confidential reporting, but remember he could retaliate against you as well, and in right to work states you are vulnerable. Wether your state allows two party consent or not I would secretly record all future conversations with your boss. The only penalty having the recording is that it would not be admissible in court if not a two party state. | |

| Sep 12, 2018 at 18:51 | comment | added | Peter M | @booleanbean NY is a one party state. So as long as one person is in on the conversation it is legal to record it without the other party knowing. Of course I am not a lawyer .. so consult a real one where needed. | |
| Sep 12, 2018 at 18:41 | comment | added | user1666620 | @booleanbean depends on the state - some states have single party notification laws (only one party of the conversation needs to know it is being recorded), some require that all parties of the conversation need to be notified. New York (according to my googling) is a single-party notification state. | |

| Sep 12, 2018 at 18:36 | comment | added | Ask About Monica | Your friend's manager is trading up from one lawsuit to two. | |
| Sep 12, 2018 at 18:35 | comment | added | user1666620 | employment laws are different in each state, so it would. | |
