I currently work in an educational institution. There is an individual in our organisation that always tries to debase and humiliate me as he appears to harbour some ill will against me for reasons unknown.
Very recently i was working on a computer and had kept the whatsapp windows open in a browser and had forgotten to logout from it.
That fellow was aware of this and he had surreptitiously logged into my account in my absence and had taken screenshot s of many of my conversations with my colleagues, some of which included criticisms and uncharitable remarks against our boss.
Today he called me aside and threatened to expose me by showing my WhatsApp chats to our chief, thus getting me fired in the process.
I would like to know what's the legal angle on this, can someone 's private whatsapp chats be used to get him sacked from his job?
If such a thing does happen, what recourse can i take to defend myself?
I am really worried. Please let me know your thoughts on this?
