Get your ex to piss on their cars

IT'S NOT MY FAULT MY LIFE SUCKS!

I wasn't present. Was just wondering if they;re allowed to do this. they had no reason to

[lemons]

my brother was sacked for having his phone out

yes what they did is wrong

[Brad]

I wouldn't sit back and let them get away with looking at your phone. It is private property, and they had no right to look at your messages.

That is so wrong omg. They aren't allowed to do that, I don't know what you should do though. Depends how far you wanted to take it?

I work in a restaurant and had my phone confiscated last week sometime, this isn't the point. Yeah ok i know I wasnt allowed my phone but i did have it on me due to personal reasons. Got caught on it and got it confiscated.
I could tell they'd tried to get onto it because when I got it back there was the message you get when it's locked itself because of too any incorrect passwords.
I then today got told that two of the duty managers had gone through my messages (to someone who doesn't even work for the company!)

Are they allowed to do this? Because I see it as a complete breach of confidentiality as the messages were personal and weren't even to anyone they knew.

I doubt they're able to look at your phone without your permission. Maybe if work had supplied you with the phone (but they hadn't). Can't believe they took it off you if I'm honest - if I worked in a restaurant I would just tell them to bugger off

Depends because they could always turn around and say ' we suspect you are doing this' but them knowing the times is probably checking how much you use your phone at work?
But as its already been said they have no right to do it without you present and without your permission. However you will have no way you can proove it.

Thing is they are allowed to take your phone but not looking at it which invades your privacy. You can report it.
