It's a bit over the top for employers to ask for this information. Why not just come over to my house and hang out for a while? Would you like the keys to let yourself in? Would you like to record me and my family interacting?

Of course the best way to go about this is just to dump Facebook which would probably be a good thing anyway.

The best defense against anyone spying on you, be boring. Like me.

Only people with something to hide, hide it.
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

The person who mentioned hanging out at the employee's house raises an interesting point. Why not allow employers to request keys to employees' houses? What better way to ensure they are quality individuals with their affairs in order? Actually, the army does something similar: they inspect soldiers' houses on a periodic basis. That was one of the reasons why I tended to live in the outlying districts of the city: my squad leaders were less likely to spring unannounced visits on me.

A girl I was seeing had the worst place ever when it came to being organized. It wasn't disgusting, like food on the floor or nothing. Just crap, everywhere. When I am more neat and orderly than a woman, it is a major turn off for me. Her bedroom had .. not shitting you .. piles of clothes in the corners. She's a single mother, but still, I'm a single father and my place is very organized and neat. Probably sounds petty, but I stopped seeing her after that. Prematurely, I thought about the future and there is just no way I can live like that.


Edit, lol, sorry about that. The whole employer coming into potential employee's home reminded me of it. 🙂

Sorry, Dexter, but I hate this attitude. People like privacy for lots of different reasons, most of which are no one's damn business. And they certainly aren't their employer's business.

The employer is entitled to know what people do in their private lives only if the employee is working for them 24/7.

If it's one a.m., and I'm being naughty/immoral/disgusting, that's my business and God's. Not my employer's.

The more I have to worry about "my job" during off hours, the worse the quality of my job is. When you work at an institution as politically correct as mine, you end up worrying about "things getting back to the boss" all the time. (When someone asked me to post my "rules" yesterday, I had to think about whether I was going to put my name on the post, because I know that if some of that content gets back to certain people above me in the food chain, it's going to be (another) black mark. In the end, I decided to go ahead and do it.

But frankly, it bothers the hell out of me that I have to think that way about nearly everything I say anywhere in this small town or on the Internet. And it bothers me not just because my "bosses" are these politically correct people who believe bonehead economics. It bothers me just as much because, it bothers me even more because there are so many of my fellow workers and neighbors who take this sanctimonious "only people with something to hide, hide it" attitude.

I expect that when the revolution comes, I'll be near the front of the line for IowaGitmo or to be shot as a counter-revolutionary. Revolutions demand even more conformity than sanctimonious, puritanical, quasi-liberal, corporate America does. But while I'm going to my cell damning the latest iteration of the Committee on Public Safety, I'm also going to be damning the moralistic bastards who went along with every intrusion into people's lives because of their fears and their believes that those who are doing nothing wrong have nothing to hide.

If someone wants my password to PackersHome, to Facebook, or to any of the other hundred or so places I enter with a password, if they're going to ask for a drug test, then they better damn have probable cause or a search warrant backed by a deputy packing a gun. Because otherwise I'm going to tell them to fuck themselves with a large blunt instrument.

I have no doubt that most of the people I work with, "having nothing to fear," would blithely go along with any and all of the above, that they would look at me as an even bigger loon that they already think of me. But so be it.

I'll admit it. I have things I hide from view. Some things that my closest friends and family probably don't know about me. Things that are going to stay between me and God unless *He* tells me to disclose them. If that bothers someone, they're free to assume the worse and disassociate themselves from me. I have no intention of disclosing those secrets. And I'm certainly not interested in doing so to save my job. If I have to disclose to save my job, my job is by definition not going to be worth it.


And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

'us' taxpayers are the reason the banks failed. we wanted bigger homes that we knew we couldn't afford & then we couldn't pay for them. WE ARE GREEDY beyond friggin belief, we push the envelope, rack up huge credit card bills, live paycheck to paycheck, have to have the best of everything without actually working for it, & then when the shit hits the fan, we blame everyone else. especially the gov't. blame bill clinton all you want for the housing nightmare but dammit people - know your limitations, stick to a damn budget, & take responsibility for yourselves!!

to any employers out there, back the fuck off my facebook page & get a life. that's private, includes any & all children i have, whether i'm married or not, etc...all of which are illegal to ask about in an interview.

I DO however blame alot on the government. They take a HUGE amount of people's earnings, and throw it away on various B.S.
Then when they run out, they just raise taxes even more.
Little by little, we are giving up our freedoms without much fight. That's what makes it so easy.....just take a little at a time, and no one really notices.

"Facebook?" If that is what's most important in someone's life, then i question their priorities.

But that's today's world. Look around you.....i see people driving and texting or talking on their phones. Walking while texting and not having ANY idea of what's going on around them....walking right into traffic.

I don't think ANY employer has a right to your passwords on the computer. However, they DO have a right to fire your butt if they catch you on facebook when you are supposed to be doing your job.

dfosterf (28m) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (1h) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.
TheKanataThrilla (2h) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.
TheKanataThrilla (2h) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him
dfosterf (2h) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him
TheKanataThrilla (2h) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

beast (5h) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (5h) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (6h) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (6h) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

Mucky Tundra (16h) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice
Mucky Tundra (16h) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it

Mucky Tundra (16h) : A LOT of buzz on the Bird App regarding Parsons; even Schefter is saying it's serious
