How Women Only Your Computer Usage Could Cost You Your Job

Some argue that despite feminism advancing over the past three decades, women still face dual standards in their behavior. Men’s borderline-inappropriate behavior is often laughed at as “boys are boys”, while women face higher behavioral standards — especially in the workplace. Therefore, as women, it is important that our behavior at work is beyond reproach. Small cities and large states For the testimony of the double standard, we need not look any further than Arlington, Oregon, which recalled Mayor Carmen Contour-Gr‌nquist in 142-139 votes after city residents discovered underwear on the mayor's MySpace page. I have pictures of him. Despite Kontur-Gronquist accusing her of electoral fraud and challenging her return, no one has argued that her MySpace page did it, despite not paying for the mayoral post. Compare his position with that of New York's new governor, David Patterson. After Governor Elliott Spitzer resigned amid allegations that he was involved in a ********** service, Patterson was sworn in and admitted that he was engaged in extramarital affairs and that he had *****. * Experimented with both when he was in his twenties * and *********. It is strange that the mayor of a small town in Oregon should be elevated to the rank of governor of New York. With computers, private can be public. The moral of the story (so to speak) is that, as women, our behavior must be impeccable - both at work and outside. Yes, we may have personal lives, but when we boot up a computer, use email, or go online, we accidentally turn those private lives into public. For your safety at work, the first rule is that you should never run a personal business using your employer's equipment. You have no right to privacy and your employer may have full access to your computer usage records, your internet history and your emails. Resist the temptation to shop online, watch the news, or surf the Internet while you are at work. Do not send that joke or motivational email to your coworkers. And do not email your friends or family. Another thing to keep in mind is that the internet you create for yourself using your home computer will also be visible to your employer. Potential employers are using tools to test the presence of job candidates on the Internet. The manic YouTube video of you dancing to your best friend's bridal shower with a lamp shade over your head will keep you from getting your dream job. Before speaking boldly on your blog or uploading a questionable image on a social networking site, think about the impact it will have on your career. There is no arguing that computers enrich our lives and provide options that our mothers could not have dreamed of. For women, however, computers can also be our downfall at work. Men's allowed to check out the Sports Illustrated website while they've been at work (even the swimsuit version!), But women adhere to the highest standards ... only Carmen Contour — Ask Gronkvist.The moral of the story is that'as women, our behavior must be impeccable.
