Employees Have Little Privacy In Workplace
If you have a job, you have no privacy when it comes to using the office computer. From monitoring e-mails to capturing instant messages among friends, employers can do as they see fit with the information passing through a company network. They can read private conversations between a worker and a doctor, and they know who has spent too much time scrutinizing sports statistics. Any modern form of communication, including blogs, message boards, instant messages and even phones with global positioning systems can be monitored by employers.
