To begin with, I thought spying was absolutely okay! Not to say an authority for the management. If there is any reason to believe that the employers waste their time, the boss obviously should have the opportunity to investigate how matters stand.
A manager, in the article points out that he doesn’t “give a rat’s rear” what his employers do at home, that his business is what they do at work. It is an excellent view, which I very much like to share. But all of a sudden I realized how difficult it is to separate work and spare time. As a serious boss works for development, progress and fair play in his company, he must care about the credibility of his employers. Honesty and responsibility at work have a close connection with our leisure. How are we suppose to distinguish what’s spare time and what’s work?
Before I knew where I was, I began to change my mind. I thought of privacy, reminded myself of integrity and leisure time. Even though, there is nothing I like to conceal at the moment, there might be things I prefer people not to know about. Suddenly, I find that there is a slight difference between spying and control. Another difference we have to make clear.
At this stage I realized my thoughts of Snooping Bosses where a complete mess. Even, in the time of writing I have changed my opinion untold times. The reason could be that I am shilly-shally, but most likely it is because there are so many things, both pros and cons to allow for. Right now, I stand up for Snooping Bosses because I have convinced myself that only the knowledge of being supervised is enough to do what you’re told. Further if someone gets caught with cheating it will most likely be a long time before they try again.
Finally, I likt to say that i solely hope snoop is a temporary method, not necessary in the long run. It might be my own fallacy but i believe that all people actually try to do their best, work hard and in some way like to succeed.
