But they way you do your job is private, think of it as intellectual property, your know-how, your tricks. In EU this would probably be not allowed.

E. G. in Poland it is not allowed to record how teachers teach as it is their IP.

Definitely not like this in the US.

Usually some of paperwork you sign when joining a large company are agreements that the company practically owns anything you do/invent/think while employed.

Basically assume it's all their IP unless you have an agreement stating otherwise.

In most of Europe it's rather rooted in privacy of communications as a basic right, plus regulated labour rights that come from unionization.

I love the European way. It’s shocking to me considering the US was founded and largely consists of descendants of Europeans, how our work cultures can be so extremely different. Every single person on my family tree for both of my grandmothers are from Germany and Switzerland, going back 5 generations. There has to be shared cultural traits passed down to us.

We need to at least move to being more like Canada, if not Germany. Tough to ever happen as our class war has long been won/dominated by the investment class. Employees here aren’t even cognizant the class war is going on. If they were, they’d choose denial to avoid having to punch up and prefer to focus on fellow workers or energy on disdain for people in public assistance. Ignoring that low tax rates for the wealthy is much larger and harmful public assistance (socialism).
