Quote From: kleesunTHat's the point here--the corporations are policing private lives, as well.
Or are we only allowed to have private lives behind locked doors and black-out curtains in our own homes? Will they next want my phone records and personal email log-ins so they can see if I have contacted any controversial people or organizations?
I use MySpace to network with musicans and college friends. That IS my private life. I do not bring my private life into the office and I would appreciate it if my employers would, in turn, leave their professional expectations out of my personal space (at home and online).
I was going to say the exact same thing you said. I personally don't think that employers or corporations should look into the employee's (or future employees) private lives such as Myspace or Facebook as well. That's a violation of privacy. Can't they be sued for that if they (Employees) found out? It should have nothing to do with their jobs that are affecting them, or for those who are trying to apply. Just because they post some things on the Internet inappropriately, doesn't mean that they'll carry it on into the workplace.
I do feel bad for Mary, because she has no idea on what she's getting herself into. And Amanda isn't helping matters any by calling her names & degrading her.
