How do I build a case for workplace privacy violations and phone hacking?
I’m sorry this happened. You’ll likely need litigation to compel disclosure, or a criminal investigation at law enforcement’s discretion (Rule 26(f)). In a civil suit, discovery can uncover this type of information.

What’s the process to figure out the difference between a narrative I’m being fed and what’s actually going on? Someone at work is hacking my phone, and I suspect a cover-up by my former and current supervisors who violated my privacy and involved my co-workers.
Lexi, Chatbot
Have you reported this to HR or IT?
Some aspects. I reported a privacy violation years ago. The hacking is newer but may have been happening then. The investigator said it was exactly what I described; the supervisor was moved, not fired.
Lexi, Chatbot
Do you have evidence tying your supervisors to the hacking/cover-up?
A co-worker I named in the prior investigation now sits across from me. For 4 years he’s mentioned the former supervisor, alluding to social engineering a violation before retiring and prying into my private affairs—then spreading it at work. He repeats “what happened” as statements, like taunting.
Lexi, Chatbot
Anything else the lawyer should know?
Yes.
Henry
Is the hacked phone a work phone or personal?
Personal phone. I’ve filed ~6 HR complaints for harassment and privacy violations.
Henry
What’s the narrative you’re being told versus what you believe?
I’m told there was a 2019–2024 investigation I wasn’t aware of, but others were. During that time I had a breakup; there may have been contact between my ex and the workplace via social media. My complaints stem from things that happened inside the workplace. I believe my supervisor and co-workers took adverse actions based on my lifestyle (some public online, mostly private). While I was on FMLA, my supervisor tracked me; co-workers repeated my therapy phone conversations; the supervisor disciplined for HIPAA issues told co-workers my FMLA reasons. My ex texted she knew someone at my work. I think they became unauthorized users of my Google Photos. The company is tight-lipped because of potential liability. A supervisor once told me, laughing, “don’t bring that shit in here,” without explaining. I compare this to Hulk Hogan v. Gawker or the recent Matt Weiss case.

Thanks.
