Spy vs. Spy; The Watcher Gets Watched
Today there are countless methods of surveillance on people and its become such common place these days. It seems most businesses now have some level of closed circuit camera system, many go beyond that to allow people to watch the cameras real time and playback as well, even from remote locations.
Most all places have computers and we use them for are jobs most anywhere you work. Many employers today deploy surveillance software that allow them to view exactly what you see on your computer screen from a remote location. Not to mention it records the history of everything you do and even snaps screen shots and saves them for later viewing.
No longer can you expect privacy in the workplace. What happens though when the people deploying the spy tools and watching your every move suddenly have counter spy measures put in place? Many times you find that surveillance techniques were deployed on the wrong people from the get go.
Should a person the has deployed tools to spy become upset when they have been spied on? Seems kind of silly for them to think that they can spy on people and not ever be spied on themselves right? I can tell you first hand in most cases people that deploy spy techniques really don’t appreciate being spied on themselves and can feel a overwhelming sense of being invaded. All while never feeling they may be overstepping boundaries by monitoring every move others where making.
Pay a decent wage and hire good people. Save the money on all the spy tools to catch your employees screwing up. If your that sure they are doing something wrong, what the hell did you hire them for? Lastly, its hardly reasonable to think you can deploy spy techniques on people and try to pry into their lives with no remorse, yet be offended if you are a victim of surveillance yourself…
