  6. Invasion of privacy. Its wrong! The company can insist staff should not use their computers and company time for social network which is still not cool but monitoring your staff is taking it too far

    ReplyDelete

    It is the enployEe private life

    2. Depends on d kind of company u are working for,but no in general,no body's private social life shud b monitored cos of their job!

      Delete
    3. It all depends...
      Often times some staff come to office to surf internet and leave their job undone. This has to b tracked.

      While some companies deliberately track d social media of their staff in order to knw their social life on media if dey r denting themsef or not.

      For crying out loud they represent d company. If u don't lik it, u hit d labour market according to my General Mgr.

  43. Worng worn worng that's their private life! The only time as a boss I check my staffs social media is when they pull a sicki and you know they are lying lol apart form that I think absultely not!!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  45. It's not right, as long it doesn't have anything to do with the company's image.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Even if you work with the CIA, they have no right to monitor your social media accounts, they can read flag certain words but not outright monitoring! That's plain wrong, it is a gross invasion of privacy.

    ReplyDelete
  47. It's not good. There should be privacy for the employee.

    u may bear some funny names and your company will not know its you.lol

    ReplyDelete
  56. If a crime is involve, yes. If otherwise NO

    ReplyDelete
  57. Yes. The purpose should be to monitor and curtail inappropriate use of the company's resources (internet access, computers and company time) for private use.

    Unfortunately, a few people may see that as a "perk" that comes with the job but it qualifies to be deemed as theft (does this sound like calling corruption ordinary stealing?).

    This ranks in the same category as taking company stationary (photocopying paper, pens, pencils etc home for the kids or personal schooling needs).

  58. For why?...ahan if it's nt aa company's acct abeg mk dem swerve...it's ones private shit! n if dey want dem to ave accts on behalf on d company den no p! Buh dier private acct? Ma dear dat ain't gon happen

  60. Where I work, we dont have access to internet on company system. We use our phone and tablet for browsing, so they don't have access to our social life

    ReplyDelete
  61. Yes because when you start working for a company you represent them and they become responsible for you any negative thing you say can be used against them

    ReplyDelete
  62. No. It's not right for a company to monitor its staff social medeia activities. It amount to invading their privacy.

  89. Funny thing is late last year our manager informed us that we should cut down the rate at which we "consume" data in our office as this is making us spend more money on internet subscription.. which is funny because I'm using my desktop to send this right now. He even insisted that if it's not work-related i'e. returning or sending mails and everything we should hibernate our systems. LOL It's kind of annoying watching over your shoulder or closing your tabs when you feel your boss is coming

    ReplyDelete
