  • Counter-Productive Use Of Social Media In The Workplace

    210 Words  | 1 Pages

The workplace is the place where you should be working, not checking on what Aunt Ethell had for dinner last night or whether your friends posted that embarrassing weekend photo. Most workplaces have plenty of distractions on their own without adding the extra time-wasting properties of Social Media. There is also the argument that what you post on Social Media can affect the way you are perceived at work. If your habits are less than savoury and your colleagues have access to the proof, you could find yourself without a job at all. It is easy to "slip up" and say things online that you may not have intended to be in the public domain. Internet

    Social media outlets have allowed society to share more information than ever before. The often forgotten fact by internet users is that once a picture, Tweet, or post has been published to a social media site it forever becomes part of the annals of the web. While many believe what they do and say on a social media site will not affect their chances at future employment or provide grounds for termination, the reality is quite the opposite. A new trend has emerged in Employment Law in which employers are making employment decision based off of what they find in applicants or employee’s social media activity. The questions regarding the legality of this practice are extensive. While social media can be a powerful tool in recruitment of a potential candidate, much of the personal information contained on these websites are protected characteristics under existing laws that protect employees from discrimination.
