The other day I had a meeting with my employer regarding some issues with co-workers. I went into work yesterday and was provided a copy of a memo that was sent to all the other co-workers that outlines I had this meeting (specifies me as the complainant) and what the meeting was regarding.

Also in this memo was a problem that the employer was having with me - mentions me by name and states that if I have an issue I should come to them.

My question is does this violate any type of employer confidentiality violations? Shouldn't the employer of held a private consult with me for whatever the problem is instead of posting in a company wide memo, much less posted my name in it? Is there any legal ramification for this? Did the employer have the right to post the memo naming me as the complainant on the other problems?

Your conversations with your supervisors/management/HR are not protected by law. I'm not saying this was a good management practice, because it isn't. But it isn't illegal. But really dumb. :rolleyes:

With extremely rare exceptions which do not apply here, the ONLY information an employer is required by law to keep confidential is certain medical information that they may have access to. This falls under the heading of unfortunate, but not illegal.
