Hmm. 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?
