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.

Why the fuck can't people do shit for themselves? Everyone needs others to wipe their ass for them?


What's next? Gonna bitch about the brakes in cars not automatically compressing when approaching a Yellow light or Stop sign?

I gotta say, Wade.. Zero's right on the money. Facebook actually DOES 'ask for permission' before disclosing information.. It's the user agreement.

'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.

People with 4G data plans and smartphones, one who smoked substantially and another who liked buying gadgets on a regular basis and lives with his parents. Both decided to start their employment here knowing they lived a long ways away from work, both decided that they'd rather have stuff than plan for a rainy day, both eventually lost out but the company was there to pick them up. I would also point out that at least one of these two is not known for staying on task even with supervision.

In the meantime, those of us that are financially responsible and only spend what we can afford while taking a reasonable degree of precaution get to drive into work every day. I feel as though this is an excellent parallel to the expectations in this country nowadays. You are entitled to whatever you can manage to buy, and if misfortune strikes it is your company's fault for not paying enough, the government's fault for not helping you out, and rich people's faults for not sharing their money.

Directly on the subject though, if this were to become common practice I wonder if people would preemptively set up dummy accounts to paint a flattering picture of themselves for future exploitation. Might be worth the time investment to make yourself look like Mister/Misses responsible.

If I have a company, I should have a right to have my company represented in a manner consistent with my values. I should have a choice on what kind of people represent me.

It may be their jobs but the company is my life. I should have a right to protect my life.

If their lives and personal activities NEVER intruded on the hours that they are paid for, I wouldn't care what they do. But it always does. Nobody spend 100% of the time they are paid to be at work, doing work. The do personal stuff all the time and they have personal conversation. If they are bringing personal stuff to work, I should have a right to determine if that personal stuff they bring to work is going to harm my business.




I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.

I agree that you have the right to run your business like that Dexter, but I don't agree with it... And I'm fairly hardassed when it comes to people being responsible and good employees. I understand that all it takes is one incident to lose you business, but you don't keep employees happy and attract as many candidates with this level of screening. Drug screenings? Absolutely. Credit check? Sure, why not. Sift through their facebook profile? Meh...

And Dexter, how far do you think it is ethical to take such a train of thought? Should you have the right to demand email passwords? Bank account information? Wedding certificates? Access to the snail mail box? Cameras in your employees' homes? Taps on their phones? Where do you draw the line?

If you are worried about their bringing Facebook to work, block access at your place of business. It's easy enough to do. As far as I am concerned, blocking access to a website is the functional equivalent of banning cell phones at work. Demanding Facebook passwords, on the other hand, is the equivalent of demanding the right to monitor an employee's voicemails or view their text messages or contact list. Not acceptable.
