As usual for your reading pleasure I keep on searching for articles which I find interesting enough to merit my attention and as usual I did find something that is common sense but people don’t find it so. It is about what is and what is not private when you work in a corporate environment. This article was about a guy who was playing fantasy football and was caught by the company management and they fired him along with 3 other people. Although the guy has a Master’s degree but he feels that it was inappropriate for the financial company to fire him since he believes that other people (especially management) do play it. The article further states that it was know that the company forbids their employees to play fantasy football but as the article alleged was never properly conveyed to the staff that it was forbidden.
Now what is fair and not fair in the company environment has been an ongoing debate since the new technological age (meaning social networking sites, email, auction sites, gaming sites etc.). Employees feel that what they do in private is of no business of the company while the company feels that what goes through its computers and what the employees do at the company’s time should be monitored to protect the company against lawsuits and also its bottom line (meaning Profits).
