In reply to Mama Kaz, there was a child buried alive here in Atlanta last year and the perp is out of prison already! Any now we can only wonder what Cayce Anthony did to her little Caylee? Yes, I could be part of the execution team when these heinous crimes are committed! And if you watch cattle, pig or chicken slaughter house films, you'll never want to eat them again! Innocent creatures, just like children!

Couldn't agree more.

This is a stepping stone to just that Olivia. I'd be worried.

MLZupan,
I see your first point completely but why should the hard working employees be punished because of the lazy or unethical?

Also,
The company phone does come home with the employees which gives the employer access into personal time. Also, what If I decide to go shopping after work? Should they be able to follow me to the mall or liquor store?

I agree that the meaning of liberal is not what it used to be. I used to be a liberal and a democrat and even worked on campaigns in high school. I used to cancel out my husbands vote every year but in the 90's I became disgusted with politics in general and didn't vote at all for awhile. 9/11 changed my life forever and gave me a different perspective. I started paying attention to what politicians were saying and doing and realized I had become a conservative. Now I'm not sure what they're doing either and I barely recognize the republican party either. I think they've all lost their minds.

And next we will have microchips implanted in our brains! I am concerned about our loss of personal privacy.

I think this is too much. I understand how important is for our employee to be honest but to the extend checking them where they and what they do, that is too much.

True I tried to keep good communication between myself and my ex butttttt, I'll leave it at that.

I love the brown shorts... I also find the fed ex people difficult to deal with. They won't deliver inside the gate where I live. (NO, I'm not in prison..) They call and say they have a package that needs to be signed for and they will only wait for a couple of minutes. They don't care that I live at the top of the mountain and that it would take me longer than a couple minutes even if I could fly. Give me brown any day.

More and more employees are doing less and less and expecting to get paid more. If that is what it takes to for some accountability in their employees - then, go for it. As far as invasion of privacy - that is a mute point because it is not your time if you are the employee. When you sell yourself to an employee for a wage in exchange for a service over a particular time frame - what was once your time, now belongs to them (the employee). It is no longer your and until you are off the clock you don't have the right to do what ever you want, or go where ever you feel like going. If employees can't be responsible on their own then the employer must take measures that will either restrict movement, or enforce accountability - that is just business.

Just give me my pepsi and no one gets hurt. I'm drinking one right now. I am so mad since Coke took over the country and I can only get one at Taco Bell. I ask for a Pepsi everywhere I go and then when they say, "Is coke alright?" I say, "Well, if that's the best you can do."

I think if more people did their job instead of cheating on hours and slacking off at work employers wouldn't even be considering such things. I worked with people who spent the whole day on the internet while I worked and took 2 and 3 hour lunches to boot.
