The question "how to find out what my team leader has said about me" often arises during moments of professional uncertainty — perhaps a promotion passed you by, the atmosphere in one-to-one meetings has shifted, or you suspect that conversations about your performance are happening without your knowledge.

Here at MultiUnion, we spend every day fighting for fairness and power for workers. We know that in the modern workplace, the power dynamic is incredibly one-sided. Your employer collects vast amounts of data about you—not just your official HR file, but your emails, your messages on Teams or Slack, performance notes, even the metadata of your daily work.

It’s not about being paranoid; it’s about being informed. It’s about transparency, accountability, and asserting your fundamental rights.
