Should Facebook be Banned? (Week #3, Blog #2)

I believe Facebook being banned just depends on the company and/or person. If companies notice that employees are spending more time on social communities and not getting the required work done, then yes as a company, I would block it. If they see that employees use their breaks or down time to look at Facebook, then no, I would not block it.

More and more companies are starting to use Facebook or Myspace to find out information about future employees. This strategy is great because this way companies can know who they may hire without a face-to-face interview. So employees need to watch what they post because your future boss may have looked at your profile before coming to the interview.

My beliefs on cyber slacking is the same if some was slacking in on the job. If an employee is slacking on the job, the employer should pull them aside and give them a warring. If it happens a second time, then the employer, in my opinion, should fire the employee because they have been given a warring. The same thing should apply in cyber slacking. If the employer has given a warring to the employee stating that you are spending too much time on social communities or browsing the internet, then the employer has the right to fire that employee.
