If an employee uses his
or her personal email or other computer resources for work related activities, it
may lead to negative outcome. Employers can monitor anything that employees
access and it is legal to do so. If employers think an employee is suspicious,
then the employers can access to his or her computer and see all of his data
that are saved in his computer. In addition, if employee sends work to his or
her personal email because he or she wants to finish at home, employers may
misunderstand that the employee tries to steal company’s information and the
employers may delete all the data saved in his or her computer.
When an employee decides to use personal computer
resources to conduct work related activities, employee should make sure not to
spread the company’s information and not let someone steal the information and
should agree that he or she got caught doing some illegal things, his or her
personal data can be deleted. When an employee decides to use his or her
employer’s computer resources to conduct personal activities, the employee
should understand that George Carlin software can always access everything. The
employee has to be extremely careful when he or she uses employer’s computer to
do personal activities.
At first, I personally thought that employer monitoring
employee’s activities is invasion of privacy. However, now I believe that this
policy, employer monitoring employee’s activities, is reasonable. Because, if I
were an employer, I would like to evaluate who the good workers are and
terminate the one who do not work. Through this policy, employers can find the
workers who violate the company’s policy, use inappropriate language, or use
for personal purpose. Therefore, I think the practice of employers monitoring
employee activities on their computer systems is reasonable.
