Prying into private social media accounts of employees, random drug testing, some business won't even consider hiring smokers, even if they only smoke while not at work, etc.No one believes that.
So, I take it you aren't informed on this.

Social media isn't any more private than hollering on a street corner.Prying into private social media accounts of employees,
Employers want to be able to keep the best people in their employ, whatever they think that means for them. That is reasonable. People that reflect badly on the employer aren't wanted. Employers shouldn't have to keep someone on staff who might have made a great impression in the recruitment and hiring process but now has shown to be a complete ass. They should simply be able to part ways with employees that they don't want. Employees leave their employers all the time and seek out better deals elsewhere. Employers should be able to do this too.random drug testing, some business won't even consider hiring smokers, even if they only smoke while not at work, etc.

Kind of makes your previous post...Social media isn't any more private than hollering on a street corner.

...ring hollow.No one believes that.
Being able to decide for yourself who you want to work for or who you want working for you doesn't have anything to do with controlling them. It's just employment. A trade of labor for money. People everywhere change jobs constantly. Neither can control the other, but both should be able to decide for themselves who they want to work with and who they don't.Kind of makes your previous post...

Sorry, you are just trying to justify employers being able to pry in to employees private lives. And yes it is tying to control your behavior while not at work. I realize you are very strongly pro business, but an employer has no business being in an employee's business outside of the office. period.Being able to decide for yourself who you want to work for or who you want working for you doesn't have anything to do with controlling them.

What you offer up in social media is not your private life. You went through the effort to publicize it. What you make a concerted effort to publicize isn't "your private life."Sorry, you are just trying to justify employers being able to pry in to employees private lives.
Just anti-double-standards.And yes it is tying to control your behavior while not at work. I realize you are very strongly pro business,
If a business were to get on its social media page after Joe Schmoe was off the clock and say "wow, Joe is such a shitty worker, look at what a bad job he did here?" and Joe Schmoe was like "pfft fuck that bullshit, I quit," is that an act of Joe Schmoe trying to "control" his employer? An employer acts like a total ass, employer will lose quality employees. Employee acts like a total ass, employee will lose quality employers.but an employer has no business being in an employee's business outside of the office. period.
On the flip side I can be held liable for negligent hiring and/or negligent retention.Sorry, you are just trying to justify employers being able to pry in to employees private lives.

Changes nothing. You are still supporting a business being able to insert themselves into employees private lives. I see how you were trying to justify their being able to do so. But you can not justify it. period.On the flip side I can be held liable for negligent hiring and/or negligent retention.
You don't get it. I don't WANT to know, I actually want to know LESS about my employees. LESS, not more. I have to exercise due diligence here, OR the law will find that I have breached a duty and I could be subjected to liability for negligent hiring/negligent retention and I could lose my home.Changes nothing.

And yes, if I put something on social media, I have the ability to limit who sees it.
We're not discussing employers hacking into accounts. These people didn't limit it, it was out there and other people were able to see it.And yes, if I put something on social media, I have the ability to limit who sees it.
