I know that most employers surveil social media accounts of their employees, but some companies go overboard. For example, I have a co-worker, well, ex-coworker, who was fired because of her display picture on Facebook. She posed with her middle finger towards the camera, and this was considered to be a violation of company policy. Her page is set in private so I think the fact that they even retrieved that photo was a violation. I don’t think that terminating her was warranted, it’s not like she was harming anyone, unlike Justine Sacco who made racist tweets. Now she definitely deserved to be fired. In some cases it is necessary to monitor employees, as companies need to protect their image.
This was a great topic for your project. Social media and your career are very important. Because I know a lot of people that don't even have social media because of their jobs and it's really a good thing because it can get you in trouble. Good topic and good information. Has me looking up things on my own about it!
You have created a wonderful Web there. I like your modulus because I picked the same one. The topic you presented is quite interesting. In the ago of the internet, people's life has been putted on the magnifying glass and judged by employers who want to know them. This is really a problem since the persons who they are in the internet are not always the persons who they are in the real life. It's not saying that posting racist tweets on the internet is appropriate, but people do act differently on the internet. Moreover, people's employment records are saved on the internet waiting for other employers to judge. This can easily create a tunnel vision to employers. There is truth about we are who we were. Yet, people are changing over times. Employers should not only judge a person by his past but also by who he is now.
