My experience with young people is they think nothing of googling someone.
Example. 25yr old always G Earth the presons address, searches other sites,FB, etc As ROUTINE. New male client comes in she openly tells coworkers about her results.
- derrickdirge 10y agoMy experience with old people is they take a shocking amount of time to consider googling something or they have me google it for them.
- losteverything 10y agoI would never had thought a normal, well reared person would Google anybody just because they can. I think the net-natives think nothing of it and probably dont think it's wrong. My comment demonstrated my discovery that I am not surprised it was from a young person.
- magic_beans 10y agoYou haven't explained why you think it's wrong to Google someone. Note: not everyone you encounter is a "normal, well-reared" person. Googling someone is a good way to weed out the less "well-reared".
- losteverything 10y agoHmm. Googling a person is nosey. Nosey is not desireable. Nosey is not acceptable behavior I had passed on to me and I passed it on to all my children. Google lets a nosey person be nosey in private and anonymously. It is still not desireable. Young people ( and some older ones) Google everything and think it's all the same. That was my point. Nobody my age tells me or my peers "Hay, I just found out our new manager is divorced and has 3 kids,and used to work for botuniverse.com." I would directly ask that person "why on earth did you want to find that out!?!?" Perhaps this is a generational think....
- antisthenes 10y agoYou're projecting a lot of opinions without anything substantial to back it up. Privacy has been dead for a while. What you call nosy, I call cautious, curious and well-informed. Would it surprise you, that I, for example, looked up judiciary cases on some of my employees?
- derrickdirge 10y agoHonestly I don't see how it's any different than a prospective employer running a background check on me, which has been a relatively common practice since before google achieved ubiquity. Do you find that gauche as well?
- SomeStupidPoint 10y agoEw. Your staff using client information to look up non-necessary information about them to satisfy their interests is a massive breach of privacy. In most places with an official privacy policy, that would violate it. Particularly just to gossip with coworkers! I hope I never do business with your office. Just ick.
- losteverything 10y agoFamily member..vet practice. ... It is very "ewe"!! Sometimes she does it on her own time. Often though she will at home off the clock. Makes is sick actually. We never share any thing personal,ever.
- magic_beans 10y agoWhat's wrong with that? Especially in a case like this article's? Maybe if some of the "old" people had googled this superintendent, the district wouldn't be in this mess.
