Workplace privacy

Hi everyone! In the previous unit we talked about how employers have been strongly working on privacy in workplaces by installing cameras, using hidden software (which allow employers  to monitor any activity on a computer), or just physical monitoring. The followings were just some of the methods employers use to monitor and over look their employees. Now, I think as long as an employee is told that he or she will be supervised while working, everything will be alright. I mean, They have the right to do it because is their company. 

On the other hand, if someone is not told about his rights and obligations when getting a job, that may lead to a controversy among employees and employers. How come an employer can check my email by using email transparency without my permission?  That's illegal! I do understand they pay us for doing something. However, we, employees, have the right to know about privacy policies a workplace have, so that we can know what we are getting into.

What do you think? Should employers monitor everything you do just because the pay employees a wage? Aren't employees allowed to know about the privacy policies a company has? Is it ok to be recorded 24/7 while working? Let me know! 

Here are two links where you can check some methods used by companies to monitor employee's computers, and other about a video explaining why you need workplace policies and procedures:

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!!!
