Company spy?
Internet, cell phone while working
By The Associated Press
A few tips for employees regarding Internet and cell phone use:
- Remember that anything you do on a company-issued computer or cell phone – in or out of the office – could be tracked by a boss, the courts or a regulator.Many employers monitor Web site use, keystrokes, instant messages and e-mail. Some even archive text messages on work cell phones.
- Avoid mentioning your company, boss or co-workers in online postings unless you have permission to do so.
- Avoid using any device to take or transmit any company-related photos, videos or other recordings without permission from management.This includes any images of company buildings or logos and embarrassing or unprofessional photos of co-workers or clients.
- Know your company’s policy on social networking, video Web sites, e-mail and other tech-related activities.
- Regularly delete personal e-mail from your work account.
- Remember when searching for a job that many employers check social networking sites, blogs and other online activity.(Source: The e-Policy Handbook, 2nd Edition) – AP
Our say: You can erase your opinion that you are by yourself alone at work! A sruvey way back in 2005 by AMA said that 76% of companies are monitoring the activities if their employees online. So, dont get too paranoid — ample warnings are typically given by the employers.. right? There is no privacy at workplace — we are all in one big pool of flowing info; in a very small pool.
