I did not know which forum to choose for my question so this may not be the correct one. I have a co-worker who is keeping a sort of log about my activities at work. I am a transcriptionist and she has a paper that shows which transcription jobs I have done, what time I got them, if I am taking them in order or not and what time the job was completed. She is not my supervisor, just a co-worker. Are co-workers allowed to keep logs like this about each other ? I have been told by others that she is responsible for getting the girl before me fired and I am concerned about losing my job. Thank you.

My response:

She can write, and keep a log, of whatever she wants. It's called the First Amendment.

For the record, if she were working for me, I'd tell her to cut it out - that what you did was none of her business.

However, if your employer has no objection to her collecting this information, there is nothing in the law that is going to stop her. It's strictly a matter of company policy.

Why don't you keep a log on her as well ? Also, keep your own log about your work so you can dispute her claims if you have to.
