Dot.column: Safe to mix personal, professional online?

January 5, 2011 by Brian Groce

The latest Dot.column question in Metromix Indianapolis is:

Can (or should) employers be able to fire or reprimand someone for something they do — off the clock — on the Internet?

As a business owner myself, I would have to say no in most cases. Let’s face it, the majority of people have a job just to make a living and have every right to spend their personal time however they see fit, be it online or off. As an employer, if you’re going around prying into your employees’ personal lives you’ll manage to alienate your employees, lose their trust & find yourself with frequent employee turnover.
