Discussion Question 1

The sales team of Sand Shell Inc. consists of six persons who use the e-mail service extensively for their communication with clients. Bob, one of the salespeople, is going on a vacation. His boss Charles asks Bob to give the password of his system and e-mail account to Alfred. This is done in order to address any urgent issues that may come up when Bob is on leave. Is this an ethical practice? Do you feel this action can cause any serious privacy issues? If yes, what policy and technical solution do you feel the organization should have in place for such situations?

Discussion Question 2

You're working on your system in the office and surfing an entertainment Web site. Suddenly, a window pops up with a message from your boss telling you to stop wasting your time on such Web sites and get back to work. It's also clear that your boss can actually see exactly what you're doing on your system all the time! Do you think your company has a right to do this? Do you think they should have first informed you that they would be monitoring you? Discuss giving examples from relevant case histories available on the Web.
