My Boss sucks. (S)he spies on me!

I just don’t get it. Grownups complaining that their boss does what they do to their children. “But I only do that to protect my children!”

And so does your boss! And we all know that most bosses consider the business their child right?

Back in 2004 I noted that there is no privacy on the internet.

In 2006 I wrote that 1/4 of companies fired employees because of misuse of e-mail.

In 2007 the German Consulting Group released a study done with 400 German top managers about truth and fiction; 79% said their e-mail contains lies.

And yesterday I read Reading emails is among the most benign erosions of perceived privacy in the corporate world.

Companies have rules; companies explain why e-mail and phone calls are monitored.

Yet, employees still complain.

But it is the companies that have to go to court for wrongful doings of employees.

What do you think?

Who is really unethical here?

    “most benign erosions of perceived privacy” - what a mouthful! But then I bet he will be the first one abusing e-mail and reading his kid’s emails!

    Have you ever been at the receiving end of an abusive employee? I have and it wasn’t a pleasure.

Because I value your thoughtful opinions, I encourage you to add them.
