If you're in California (Netflix is based there, so it's likely), you need both parties' consent to record a conversation in a setting you'd reasonably consider private. You're probably (I am not a lawyer) better off venting over Zoom because if your employer admits to recording the call without your knowledge, they could be in for a legal headache.

When you are using work equipment, you should not, consider your communications private unless specifically indicated.

In a work environment your reasonable expectation is to your person, and personal belongings.

There has been exceptions in both directions but in general, this seems to be the agreed upon rules.

So if you want to vent, use your personal phone, on your service providers, using software not owned and managed by your employer.

Presumably most employment contracts/usage policies explicitly give consent to the employer to access any private data that is stored on their systems? That would seem like a reasonable thing for an employer to mandate.
