At my present workplace, we have cameras with microphones. They also have installed spyware on laptops and desktops, to be able to see the screens of employees. They also go through mails and have a list of all web traffic done by employees.

In most places where I worked, I signed an explicit consent form stating that all company-provided means of communication are for work purposes only, and may be audited. I suppose it's required by law.
