Comment on Big Brother (Your Boss) really IS watching You at work

Hi Jason,
yes, that is true, the courts can indeed take computers even if the individual works from home, and even if the computer personally belongs to the individual in question. They can also subpoena a clients computer as well

This comes down to intellectual property of the company as well.

Sometimes companies will erase evidence and data from their computers, so investigations will try to find evidence any way they can
This link will give a few examples http://www.fjc.gov/public/pdf.nsf/lookup/ElecDi17.pdf/$file/ElecDi17.pdf

I understand that if I work on my home computer, but do company work (like e-mails), then the company hs the right to take my computer (with a court order) to investigate in the case that they suspect I'm doing something wrong, and go through my files and history.

I would like to say excellent comment, as I too get frustrated as I have had this happen to me during the years.

But, in reality, We seek the Candidates Out, we need them for Us to be able to do what we do - Whether as a company or Consultant - We need them!

Then that would make them the customer, they are "a client" per se - and their Lives and livelihood are In Our hands..

Maybe then, we may not be performing a due diligence by not educating them better, or maybe we are not spending more time with the candidates, enough quality time to qualify and quantify their needs.

Maybe we are not listening to them well enough, about what They really want, and not understanding their goals and ambitions in our pursuit to meet those metrics.

So is it possible that this may be a reaction from the Candidates because we were not being more empathetic to them?

What about the Rights of Clienst and Consultants wrt Candidates ? Specifically, what about :
- Candidates lying on their CVs ?
- candidates not appearing for interviews after confirming ?
- candiates accepting an offer and then not joining ?
..and several similar issues...
