Pulling the Plug
Technology in the Workplace

Film 260 – Professor SydneyEve Matrix Created by
Dooder -
Freepik.com
I was inspired by my
own struggles with
finding a career-
worthy job, and my
fascination with the
way employees
interact with each
other and their
workplace
Created by Jcomp - Freepik.com
Technological integration has
made finding and maintaining
a career more difficult in the
21st century by expanding
hiring screening, damaging
workplace relationships
through decreased autonomy,
and blurring the lines between
in/out-of-office activities,
eroding work/life balance.
Hiring Practices: I Know What
You Did Last Summer
Created by Katemangostar - Freepik.com
31% [of U.S. Colleges) said
they had visited an
applicant's Facebook page to
learn more about them -- a
five-percentage-point
increase from [2012]9
Online vetting has
forced people to adopt
a permanent career
campaign – even for
entry level positions.3

MentionsMonitoring
•Everytime you are mentioned, tagged, or otherwise flagged
online, you need to know about it. Is this how you would
want your mother, or a recruiter, to see you?
DialogueControlling
•Control what you’re saying, and what’s being said about
you. If you don’t like it, change the conversation, but make
sure your interactions are on your own terms.
A FanbaseCreating
•Make sure that you’ve generated enough of a following
online that if you’re able to call on support (and in some
cases they’ll be there before you are) in the face of adversity
Online incidents can paint
an unfair picture: “The
European Justice Council
recognize[s] that [when
online,] scattered moments
of [one’s] life are presented
mechanistically …[and
are] distorted by lack of
context”8

However, technology can be used
positively! Goldman Sachs, a
prestigious Investment Bank, has
rolled out standard interview
questions and HireVue technology,
which will automatically filter
candidates based on pre-set
criteria.13

Computer
monitoring has
been linked
with increased
emotional and
physical stress
on employees6
Created by Pressfoto - Freepik.com
Even though
social media
has been linked
to increased
workplace
morale…7
…54% of US
companies
have blocked
social media
websites at
work10
Low Morale can lead to
increased absenteeism,
turnover, which can
cost the U.S. economy
upwards of $350 billion
annually in productivity
losses – which can lead
to downsizing12
Created by Katemangostar - Freepik.com
However, people are social media savvy:
74% of employees are aware they can
damage a company’s reputation on social
media – companies could implement
training to help employees adeptly
navigate social media when their employer
is involved1

Increasing Stress by
Decreasing Down Time:
“A Digital Dog on a
Digital Leash”14
Checking emails less
frequently has been
cited to reduce stress,
but many jobs require
employees to always
be connected, even
away from the office
Created by Ibrandify - Freepik.com
Employers that ignore
employees’ work-life
imbalance typically
experience higher
rates of absenteeism
and turnover – with
very real financial
costs – as employee
satisfaction plummets
over time2
Created by Peoplecreations - Freepik.com
All of these costs are
borne by employers
and employees
alike, with
workplace stress
related health issues
costing the US
economy $180
billion4
Created by Freepik
France has taken action to protect its
citizens’ ‘right to disconnect’,
banning work emails after 6pm:
“Employees physically leave the
office, but they do not leave their
work. They remain attached by a kind
of electronic leash — like a dog”14
By expanding hiring screening,
damaging the relationship
employees have with their
workplace, and eroding
work/life balance,
technological integration has
made finding and maintaining
a rewarding career
fundamentally more difficult in
the 21st century
If we continue to develop our technology
without wisdom or prudence, our servant
may prove to be our executioner. –
General Omar Bradley; U.S. Army11
