据隐私基金会发布的研究报告称,对员工在工作场所的监视是2000年的头号隐私问题。去年,由于雇主越来越关心雇员的生产效率和雇员使用互联网的情况,成千上万的美国人在工作场所被监视。美国管理协会说,三分之二的美国公司安装了室内电子监控设备,被调查的所有公司中有27％监控员工的电子邮件。这种家长式管理使许多人丢了饭碗。Dow Chemical公司因发现员工在公司电脑中储存和发送色情或暴力图象,开除了24名雇员并处罚了235人。施乐公司在对员工实施电子监控后,也因发现所谓的不良行为而解雇了员工。
According to a research report published by the Privacy Foundation, monitoring employees in the workplace was No. 1 in privacy issues in 2000. Last year, thousands of Americans were being monitored in the workplace as employers became more concerned about the productivity of employees and the use of the Internet by employees. The American Management Association said that two-thirds of U.S. companies have installed indoor electronic surveillance equipment and 27% of all companies surveyed monitor employee e-mail. This paternalistic management has left many people lost their jobs. Dow Chemical fired 24 employees and punished 235 people for finding employees storing and sending images of pornography or violence on corporate computers. After Xerox conducted electronic monitoring of its employees, it also fired employees for what it called bad behavior.
