I guess nobody is surprised that the control systems exist and is used today. Some people have a need to know where people are, what they are doing, what there habits are and so on. Facebook is just one example of another tool for finding this information easily. The question is, are we really feeling better getting this control?
I think that, particularly in work relations you have to keep it professional and don’t control what other colleagues of yours are doing, both as an employee or an employer.
Maybe if your company gets bad results during a long time even do there’s a good market for the products that you make, then it might me time to check what your staff is doing at their work. Isn’t it better to just have a meeting with them and tell them how the company is doing at the moment? Instead of snooping around. I think that if you are in charge, you have to be open to your staff to feel mutual trust and respekt for one another. Then you might not have to control your employees because you work as a team.
