Conversations among employees are definitely moving online, especially at the personal level. I have worked at Wachovia for the past two summers as a teller. Wachovia banned access of Facebook and other social networking sites from employees. Internet access was only allowed for Wachovia related work. Even if we tried typing in a social network URL, it would still deny us access. I did not disagree with Wachovia’s policy because sometimes social networking sites can hinder worker productivity. As a teller, I was responsible for interacting with customers and completely their bank transactions. Social networking was not part of my job description. For example, Facebook would distract my attention away from my customers because I would be trying to interact with personal conversations on the social network site. I definitely think that these conversations will occur not matter what, but I do think there is a time and place for gossip and personal conversations. After work is a great place for social networking sites to be used. Companies could also allow an allotted amount of time for employees to use social networking sites throughout their work day.
