Workplace Privacy

Workers are often accustomed to personal privacy in their private lives, but employers aren't necessarily obligated to give workers privacy while they're on the job. Employers hire workers to perform specific tasks --- time that employees spend taking care of private matters may seem wasteful in the eyes of the employer, so employers may monitor employee activities to determine which workers are wasting time or are engaged in activities that may raise legal issues or security concerns.

A personal opinion, employers should allow workers to have a good time in the middle of their work hours, as long as they do not neglect their work and protect the information that the company and the employees handle. I said that because it is very stressful that they are always monitoring you, and in addition to that having a boss who does not want you to waste time in your work time. Many times an employee with a lot of stress and a lot of pressure does not perform 100% as an employee who enjoys freedom at work does.
