Press Alert! Steven Chizen was quoted in Bored Panda regarding employee privacy in the workplace:
“Companies pay their employees wages. In return, they often feel entitled to control their employees as much as possible.

“Too often, I see employees who routinely use social media on their employer’s laptop, shop online during working hours from their employer’s device, or send company documents to their personal emails. While it is true that many employers simply don’t care if you do a little personal work from company devices, many do, and employees could be disciplined and/or terminated depending on the severity of the circumstances.”
