What do you think of employers demanding that you disclose the password to your personal facebook account? An employer looking over your facebook page and monitoring the content is one thing, but to demand administrative access is quite another in my opinion.
The feds and DOJ have stepped in to determine whether employers who do this are breaking privacy laws.
>Who in this world would volunteer their password on any personal site....<
Hypothetically
You are 50 year old father of 3 who was laid off. You are fast running out of your savings and might face losing your home. You are have a common 4 year degree with some demand but not the write your own ticket kind of demand. By some miracle a company wants to hire a 50 year old and gives you an interview. The interview goes well until the end and they want your FB PW...
Employers in general and managers in specific are control freaks that believe they must know everything about you and you must knopw nothing about them or the business.
Given the above situation I would cancel the account, take the job and milk it for all it was worth. What goes around, comes around.
May people in a depression/recession such as this do not have a choice about who they work for. They are forced by their creditors to take any income that comes along no matter how obnoxious. There is no real freedom in this system and never has been.
Why the hell do we need the government to step in? Just don't choose to work for someone who does this.
When jobs are few and far between, do you really expect someone to NOT take a job if they are lucky enough to be offered one? Would you like them to stay on unemployment or welfare/foodstamps?
What if every employer asked for this info? Where would someone get a job? And don't say 'they should start their own business'...you know as well as I do that not everyone can do that.
We definitely need the government to clamp down on this invasion of privacy. Businesses are not gods.
