Can Your Boss Be Watching You Work From Home?

I never had this problem because we were expected to to own our own laptops. But, undoubtedly a clear majority of you use company or organization owned devices. This issue comes up from time to time. In this pandemic period, many of us are working from home.

Give some thought to what this article speaks to. This goes to whether it is in the office or off-site. If it is being done by your boss, is it legal? Is it ethical? Is it moral? Are you doing something on company time you should not be doing? Are you being ethical? Are you being moral? Are you being honesty?

This matter raises a number of questions. Whatever side you sit on, you will have views. Strong-held views in many cases, I would presume. This article appeared on February 14, 2021 in the New York Times. Thorin Klosowski simplifies the issue. Read on:

LISTENING....

We all need to do a better job of listening. Whether it is a political matter, a business matter, a personal matter or something in the news, we all need to do a better job with this important topic. The recent issue of listening certainly came into being with the CEO of the Crossfit brand. He spoke with numerous people in this business and apparently did not hear, did not listen or did not want to hear what they were saying. I wasn't there so I don't implicitly know. But since then he has resigned as the CEO. Why? Basically all because he was not listening. My sister and I are basically polar opposites when it comes to politics, but over the last few years we have both tried much harder to listen to the other's thought and ideas on many topics. Some we will never agree upon, but some, interestingly enough we found that we could agree on with each other. All it took was some listening. I was recently going through my archive of articles that I thought were i

JUST WHAT EXACTLY IS A SUPPLY CHAIN AND HOW DOES A LOUSY VIRUS SCREW THEM UP SO INCREDIBLY WELL!

Recently, I have had quite a few people ask me in the course of small talk, what exactly is this "supply chain" talk they are hearing about again regarding th e Delta variant of the Covid-19 virus. They've heard the horror stories on toilet paper or disinfectants in many stores. Now we've heard of hoarders over-stocking their own homes or selling these products on the street corner at inflated prices. Many people ask how can this be; what causes this; we are in the 21st century; etc. I remember the start of this current problem back in the 1960s (perhaps earlier) with the start of such programs as MRP (Materials Requirement Planning), but certainly not limited to this program and parlaying further into programs and schemes like J-I-T (Just-In-Time). Bottom line and perhaps over-simplified, these programs were and are intended to speed up production and cut costs. There are newer and greater programs like Lean, etc. But for the average person to understand
