Social Media Posts that Lead to an Employee being fired
Internet Privacy Overview
In most cases, employees post different contents on social media platforms that might affect their jobs if things take a wrong turn. In the recent past, some organizations have sacked workers because of their online posts. Employers expect the workers to act in an appropriate way always, thus making social media one of the areas of concern. However, it is imperative to listen to the employee before making the final termination decision.
Weiss Book
Business ethics: a stakeholder and issues management approach is one of the most appropriate publications for the analysis of internet privacy. Weiss uses different contemporary examples to illustrate the different forms of business ethics dilemmas. Additionally, the author utilizes an issue-oriented approach and a stakeholder’s point of view in writing the book using a blend of theory and practice (Weiss, 2014). The book is one of the most appropriate guides for determining ethical standards in the workplace. Besides, it is informative on the impact of business actions on the well-being of different stakeholders. Weiss’ book is easy to use because of the different stories that relate to ethical issues in each chapter. Accordingly, it was easy to find the book on Trident’s library through the use of its title and author.
