Judgment day is coming a little sooner than expected due to today’s advanced technology. Everybody has a track record of good and bad behavior throughout their lifetimes, but now that we are so open with our lives on an electronic diary, we are all vulnerable to advanced technology. The company known as Social Intelligence produces the negative employee information to potential employers prior to hiring. This goes beyond the usual criminal and credit check. Now social networks are infiltrated for more personal data to predict future behavior of potential employees. Is this fair? The company may prove to be an advantage for employers, but what about the potential employee that separates work ethic with leisure ethic. I think too much information may lead to too much responsibility. There are just too many social networks out there that are for leisure activity and that should not to be taken out of context for work purposes. Employers ought to disregard the liability hassle of knowing too much about a potentially violent employee, but wrongful termination lawsuits just are not worth it to them. Big brother is no longer just the government: It’s your “would be” boss who just found out that you’re not worth the risk via Social Intelligence.
