Disscussion 2 Week 3

The purpose of this discussion is to give you the opportunity to
apply ethical theories and perspectives to modern issues of the
workplace. Off-duty conduct away from the workplace can be monitored and
reported in many ways. These ways have only grown due to the increase
in social media use, which provides employers far greater opportunities
to become aware of what employees do outside of the workplace. Some
types of behaviors are especially concerning, as they may have on-duty
consequences. Other types of off-duty behavior, however, are more
difficult to clearly define as grossly inappropriate and warranting
employer intervention. But who draws this line, and what are the ethical
implications of where the line is drawn? Prepare and post a response to
the following prompt:

Using the resources provided, your own research, and your knowledge
of the ethical concepts from the text, consider the issue of off-site
monitoring of conduct:

• Considering your own work experience, imagine a circumstance in
  which your supervisor monitored your behavior off the job. Describe the
  circumstances, including how and why your conduct was monitored.
• Would you consider your example to involve a minor, moderate, or
  severe invasion of an individual’s privacy? Explain your reasoning.
  Share your unemotional, well-defined, evidence-based response to your
  boss to support your viewpoint.
• What issues do you believe led to your employer monitoring you? Use
  one ethical theory or perspective to help support your employer’s
  viewpoint, and use a scholarly source as your evidence.
• What about your viewpoint as the employee? Use one ethical theory or
  perspective to support an employee’s right to privacy outside of work,
  and use a scholarly source as your evidence.

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support
