Can a defendant’s supervisor at work be subpoenaed and ordered to testify and produce documents in regards to what was stated in a private conversation that occurred when the supervisor counseled and warned him over a personal incident with a coworker that occurred on company property?
The defendant is being sued by the coworker over the incident, and is denying the allegations. However, the supervisor previously acknowleged to the plaintiff the employee admitted the allegations to him.
Is there any privilege the employer or supervisor can assert to avoid testifying?
