Members of the managerial staff have an interest in discovering background information about potential employees and also have concerns about how employees are using their time while at work. You would like to find out more about your employees, so you, as a manager, are considering sending a “friend” or “follow “request to a subordinate employee for the sole purpose of getting access to that person’s “private” page.
