Part 1:

Read the case study titled, "Discharged for Facebook Comments," in your textbook (Chapter 8). Review and determine how you would respond to questions 1, 2 and 3 if faced with the scenario. Remember that you are representing the organization from the management perspective; keep this in mind especially as you respond to the second question listed in your textbook. You will use your responses to help you with Part 2 of this assignment and the essay you will then write.

Part 2:

Once you have completed Part 1, reflect on current events regarding technology and employee monitoring by using the CSU-Global Library's LexisNexis database. Using the advanced settings in the database, search State and Federal Cases for recent cases about employee monitoring and workplace privacy. Select one current case.

Discuss how this case relates to the case study from the textbook. Be sure to include the following information:

1. case name and citation
2. facts
3. issue
4. holding/ruling
5. reasons for the holding/ruling
6. how the case compares and contrasts with the organization's stance/response in the textbook case study, as well as how the LexisNexis case furthers your understanding of issues regarding technology and job protection in the contemporary workplace.
