RBC & MSN

My mom works for RBC in the estates department, and i felt it was necessary to share personal findings rather than statistics and opinions of others all the time. While talking to my mom she stated that her company monitors her computer and every call she makes during her working hours. My mom works from home, so i thought before speaking to her that she can do whatever she pleases on her computer. I was completely wrong. They have rules regarding internet use and use of social media. While at work, workers are not allowed to use internet EVER. Workers can not violate this rule, because RBC does random screenings and monitoring of computers that employees do not know about. Which means if there's no internet use there is obviously no social media allowed. Stating that, they do however have RBC MSN, which is a type of social media but within the company. Most people are familiar with MSN as a social chatting site, but RBC MSN is strictly for RBC employees. You can add friends from work and communicate with them freely and employers do not have the right to stop you from the use of this. While it would be irrelevant to stay at home and not use social media when work is slow, the use of MSN for the employees is a great alternative. It gives them an opportunity to communicate with people they work with during office hour.
