When Your Boss Reads Your DMs: Social Media Ethics at Work

in #hive-153850yesterday

Nowadays we all are connected to social media platforms in some form or the other, no matter what type it is, many people say that we do not use Facebook or Instagram, we are connected to WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Twitter (now X) etc., no matter what the platform is, we all have the same aim that we want to be socially active or we want to show our presence on social media. Many popular influencers have earned a lot of followers, some of them make informative videos and some people are increasing their fan following by dancing or by displaying their talent in different ways, but nowadays, we have already talked about increasing followers by dancing, you all must be aware of it, maybe some of you too have tried such things. See, social media is becoming a necessity for people nowadays, people spend a lot of their time on it. See, those who do not have any work also use it and those who have work also use it, some create content on social media platforms and some people are their consumers, the number of content creators is much less as compared to the number of consumers but now the number of content creators is also increasing.

We all have our personal lives and no one has any right in how we spend it. There is something called privacy. Yes, when we are with our friends, we forget all these things, share almost everything, and let them read our messages. But if you have to do the same thing in your office or boss, you probably won't hesitate. See, we all rate our bosses and our office employees and if you see each other's social media profiles, you will get to know what they are talking about and with whom they talk the most and you can get a lot of other information. See, I don't use any social media platform, I use it very rarely. Sometimes, I am not used to anything except Hive xd.

If your boss or any of your colleagues have any interest in you that is related to your work, then you should not have any problem submitting your social media profiles. If you are not doing any kind of illegal work, then many people send confidential things from their office here and there which is not ethically correct. You should be loyal to the place where you are working. If you are being asked to check your social media platforms without any doubt or under any serious allegations, then you should do so. First of all, you should not do any such illegal thing due to which you will have to face such a problem, but if your co-employees and you find such false allegations, then you must show them your social media platforms and your phone and other things to prove it so that they will be satisfied that you have not done any wrong thing.

If it is the policy of your company that you have to submit all your social media handles there, then perhaps it is a violation of our privacy because in such a situation we cannot have any kind of conversation with our colleagues and our loved ones, that too openly, so I feel that if there is any such benefit, then perhaps in such a situation people will start making more and more video calls or voice calls, so that there will be no record of their conversations, it is the only way, but if you talk about chats, they can be easily recovered and in such a situation it is also not ethically right to read the private chats of others, but if a company is planning to do this, then I will definitely oppose this and I think I will not be the only one who would want that there should be no opposition to this because it is a violation of the privacy of all of us and we all are quite different and talk differently, if all these things are revealed to other people in our social media accounts, then perhaps it will not be a good thing and if there is such a rule in a company, then probably every employee will oppose it and perhaps no one will share their social media in the same way. Will not submit ID.

Look, the employer will tempt you in other ways, will increase your salary or can tempt you with many things but if you love your privacy then you should refuse all these things because it is possible that the database of people that they have can be used for some wrong purpose because not everyone is good, everyone is busy in fulfilling their selfish interests, so you should pay attention to this thing if someone is tempting you and forcefully asking you to do all these things then maybe you should leave that job or you should think about that thing and must oppose it because this is not good for your privacy, what do you think about this

Namaste 🙏 @bhattg bro, right we have a personal life after the job, we can utilise our time as we like.

But some places we have to keep following company norms if it allows or not, before joining in a company term condition must be read by the condidate. Thanks for sharing your views on this🤗🤩

I think that the employee should provide substantial reasons as to why they need to look through the person's account.

If the job role requires that the person shares company details, in this situation, it's understandable. Other than that, people just want to not let their work lives overlap with their personal lives.

I agree with you, our privacy should in no way be exchanged for work.

It seems I got it all wrong. You mean submitting the login details of a social media account? No way! That totally going against the rule of privacy. If they want to get details, they should go and back the database of the platform 😂

If we look at it this way, what benefit will an organization get by taking someone's personal information. If a person has to do something wrong which the employer feels will spoil the reputation of his organization, then he will do it anyhow. He will create another ID or take help from someone else.

Yes you are right making multiple IDS can be useful but I am sure the organisation will also look for that may be they were checking into their servers who are using social media on their office time. 😅😬

This can happen. If the management wants to harass the employees then they can do it any way they want. Now just look at today's incident.😔😑

Thank you so much 😊

For me, personal and professional life are two different things, and if my company asks for something that belongs to my personal life, I may not hesitate to leave the job. I think my social media account is more valuable than my job salary. If a company offers me a desired price for my social media, I may consider selling it after erasing all the data. Hehe. I think no company won't give me my desired amount of money for it.
