Anyone who thinks facebook is "private" already is kidding themselves.



It's private from anyone you don't wish to see the info



aside from facebook itself, facebook employees, facebook advertisers, an army of hackers, and if you're a moron like most facebook users, everyone else because you don't understand how to change the privacy settings.

...and you give consent (informed consent even if you bother to read the TOS) to that 'invasion of privacy' before you sign up for a Facebook account.

And not even Facebook employees will ask you for your password.

Posting crap about previous employers on facebook, or really about any part of life in particular that you couldn't knowingly say to someone, is just a bad idea anyhow

I would probably never hire a cynic doucher who complains about his work all the time either. Find a forum to be anonymous and post that crap on it if you need to release, associating with that sort of inner-thought behavior publicly is just asking for trouble.

Hey, I agree with all of this, everything you said here makes perfect sense. That still doesn't justify an employer (or POTENTIAL employer) nosing around in your personal accounts.

And the notion that "it's out there anyway so what's the big deal?" doesn't fly, either. That's like saying it should be perfectly okay for someone to stand at your window and watch you dress for work in the morning because you wore a bathing suit to the beach last summer.

The only reason companies pay a livable wage is because minimum wage laws exist - without such a law, companies would pay $0.02/hour. The only reason companies observe a 40 hour work week is because there are laws about it... and on and on and on.

The only reason companies do ANYTHING except maximize profits at the expense of workers and the environment is because they are forced to by law.


If this were true then no company would pay more than minimum wage for any job.

He said that without the law companies would pay less than minimum wage. He didn't say all companies would for all jobs.

What does it matter who I am on my own time? If I'm a good employee and do my job well, that should be enough.

Read it again.

If he's right then if you take away the law then there is no reason companies would pay a liveable wage.

Depends on the job. If you were a high profile executive then your company could most definitely be hurt by shenanigans in your personal life.

Well I was referring to jobs that are generally considered in the "minimum wage" territory.
