Dear Future Managers,

Once upon a time there was no social media. Whatever happened to you at work or in private stayed there: behind closed doors. No photos, no selfies, no tweets were published while working, engaging in sports or going out....ever! The only people exposed to media attention were famous people or criminals.

 

Beste toekomstige managers

Tot 20 jaar terug bestond sociale media niet of nauwelijks. Wat er ook gebeurde tijdens werktijd of vrije tijd bleef achter gesloten deuren. Geen foto's , selfies, of tweets werden gedeeld tijdens het werk, sporten of uitgaan. Dit gebeurde gewoon niet. De enige mensen die in de media kwamen waren beroemde mensen of criminelen.  

Today this situation has transformed entirely. We all see everything. We all know everything about everybody, even the things we do not want to know.  We are all public figures on our own social media accounts. Or are we still private people there? 

Future managers, this is the problem you are facing: 

Tegenwoordig is deze situatie compleet veranderd. Iedereen kan alles zien. We weten alles over iedereen, inclusief de zaken die we liever niet weten....

We zijn allemaal publieke figuren geworden op onze eigen sociale mediakanalen.  Of is er daar nog wel sprake van enige privacy? 

Toekomstige leidinggevenden; dit is jullie dilemma....

Social media plays a huge role in society and not just at home but also in the workplace. Problems occur more and more frequently when employees post disturbing or offensive content through social media. Or even more innocent, when they show themselves attending a party and dancing all night forgetting that they called in sick that same day. This results in many cases of dismissal worldwide.

Sociale media speelt een hele grote rol in de samenleving en niet alleen thuis maar ook op de werkvloer. Steeds vaker veroorzaakt dit problemen als werknemers uitdagende of aanstootgevende content plaatsen op hun sociale mediakanalen. Of als er in alle onschuld selfies of filmpjes worden geplaatst over het te gekke feestje de avond ervoor terwijl de werkgever zich diezelfde dag net ziek had gemeld bij de baas... 

discussion questions: 

• How do you behave as an employee? 
• How would you deal with these issues as a manager?
• What would be the company policy if you owned your own business?

individual assignment: 

Using between 150 and 300 words you 

write your own response to the discussion questions.

This should be written in English ( of course).

Please make use of the spelling correct on your computer. 

Deadline:  Monday  31/1; 10.00AM- no excuses!
