When one invades the privacy of another it causes a reaction of betrayal in the eyes of the person whose privacy is being invaded. Privacy is one of the most personal things on this planet and any invasion of that strips away a part of that person which they thought was theirs alone. The first decision for discovering the employee’s actions on the computer states that they will not implement that surveillance program, and will try a less effective means of determining the source of the problem. The pros to this measure of action are that there will be no invasion of the privacy by the management on what person things an employee does on his or her specifically assigned computer. It will also cause no dispute in the workplace because nothing will change in the surveillance of the employee’s personal computers and the dealings done with them.
