he is Facebook friends with several people in the organization, you have also heard he constantly
updates his status and uploads pictures during work time. Then, at meetings, Steve will ask
employees if they saw the pictures he recently uploaded from his vacation, weekend, or backpacking
trip. One employee, Sam, comes to you with a concern about this. “I am just trying to do my job, but
I feel if I don’t look at his photos, he may not think I am a good employ” she says.
