What is the name of your state? California
There was an incident at my work place, where confidential information regarding a disciplinary action that was suppose to take place, was released by the assitant managers to a member of the staff who is not a manager. This person then tells another coworker.
This disciplinary action was in regards to an addition error in which I miscounted the tills, I came up right on, the following morning the opening manager said that we were $40 short. The $40 was found in a drop envelope under a lip in the safe the following monday.
Now I can understand taking a disciplinary action IF we were actually short, or for my error in addition. But is it right for members of management to tell subordinates about pending disciplinary actions supposedly being taken against me? Just a little curious.

The only expectation of privacy you have in the workplace in the legal sense has to do with any medical issues. As far as disciplinary issues go, discussing them may be unprofessional but it is not illegal.
