Comments on: Can You Control Your Employees’ LinkedIn Profiles? https://www.evilhrlady.org/2013/05/can-you-control-your-employees-linkedin-profiles.html Everything to make HR better Fri, 05 Jul 2013 15:12:41 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.2 By: Tim https://www.evilhrlady.org/2013/05/can-you-control-your-employees-linkedin-profiles.html#comment-58365 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 15:12:41 +0000 https://www.evilhrlady.org/?p=2852#comment-58365 This is great information for anyone doing a quick and dirty employee screening via Linked In. What might seem to be a discrepancy may not be an intentional deception on the part of the employee. It looks like other factors might be at work. Thanks for the heads up!

If the company has a policy in place, then THEY may be seen to own it, however, if not then the person’s name that is listed as the account holder is seen to own the information.

Personally, my facebook, email, twitter & other online sites are for my own personal use and if I were ever told by a company it was a job requirement to share my passwords… well I would not take the job, or find another one. The woman in the above article would not have needed a lawsuit if she had not shared her password, just as so many people do.

Businesses have gotten themselves into trouble as well by allowing staff to have access to password information to online sites.

People are entitled to free speach & are allowed online forums for a reason. A company who tries to control that is not worth working for, IMHO.

There has to be SOME separation from your personal & work life!
