IANAL, but I think this description is overbroad. There is a "work for hire" doctrine in copyright law that assigns copyright to the employer, but I believe by default that only applies to works of authorship within the scope of an employee/contractor's assigned duties, with any broader scope needing to be explicitly assigned by contract. I would expect internal communications in general to be covered by an NDA or some concept of privacy rights, depending on the context.
