Workplace Privacy


Nowadays, with the advance of technology, employers can easily watch their employees as they work.

From installing cameras to record calls and supervise computers use, our time at the office is getting more and more controlled by supervisors and employers.

I live that daily in my workplace. There are three cameras at the office. My bosses are watching us all the time from the United States and the General Manager watches us from the Dominican Republic. Since American people are so smart on technology, I do not know if there are microphones hidden in the office and I suspect they listen all calls.

I do not feel uncomfortable because of the cameras, because at the end of the day they have to make sure we are working. But the use of microphones in the office violates our privacy and our freedom of speech.

In some aspects it is understandable the use of devices for supervising the activities of the office. If I were an employer, I definitely would use them.

And from an employee point of view, it is not uncomfortable if you are using your time in the office properly and aimed to what you are there for, to work.


Regards!

    It is true everything you say in your composition Linette.I agree that to some extent it is necessary to monitor the work of the employees and I agree that in many cases it is already becoming abuse.I understand that the authorities should do something about it.

Workplace privacy. Sources; from Internet.

          Technology allow employers to monitor many aspects of their employees' workplace activities. while employees may feel that such monitoring is a violation of their privacy rights,many types of monitoring are allowed under the law. A nayority of employers monitor their employees. They are motivated by concern over litigation and the increasing rol that electronic evidence plays in lawsuits and government agency investigations.           Almost everything you do on your office computer can be monitored. Such monitoring virtually unregulated, therefore ,unless company policy specifically state otherwise ( and even is not assured),your employes may listen , watch and read most of  your workplace communications. Courts often have found that when employees are using an employer's equipment, their expectation of privacy is limited.           I's important to be aware that your employer's promises regar...

The Bold and the Bashful

Hello, everyone, We all certainly have personality traits that distinguish us from each other. Unit three tells us about two very specific features, which are boldness and bashfulness. In my view, it is funny to see that people would talk about these two features as completely separated from each other to describe others. That is, I do not believe they can be used this way. We cannot use either of these adjectives to entirely describe a person because no one is one thing or the other in its entirety. That is to say, even the people you might consider that possess a great amount of boldness are somehow also bashful, and the same thing occurs with people who are bashful; they can also be bold depending on the circumstances. I was very curious about how these two terms were being employed since in my particular case, even though I am more of an introvert, I consider myself to be both bold and bashful. I am selectively one thing or the other, and the degree to which I can act in a...

🕊️Spiritual Renewal🕊️  Unit 6 ✝️To replenish my soul, to be closer to God, walk with him, and lead a better life you have to read or study the Bible, and when you do it, ask God to give you the wisdom to understand it, to understand the message, you can learn a verse each week or each month, You can make "cilicios" and fast, people do not like to fast or sometimes time is not enough, as we saw in unit 6. If they knew how important it is to fast, that it can help them both in the physical and spiritual lives, They did it; but the best thing of all is to pray, to connect with God, humble yourself before God, Tell him what is happening to you, talk to him, and don't be proud, be humble.✝️ Finally I want to share with you a link or a video about the prayer. Why it is important to pray, how do it, etc I love to pray and worship my God 😍 https://youtu.be/Cav8cJrqcco God Bless You!!!
