WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER USE WHATAPP MESSANGER AT WORK




An engineer appealed to the European Court of Human Rights for losing his job after sending messages to his brother and fiancee using Yahoo Messenger during work hours

The judge, who presided over the ruling in France said that it was "not unreasonable that an employer would want to verify that employees were completing their professional tasks during working hours" and it was claimed in court that the worker's human right to privacy had been breached.
However,  despite that the engineer's bosses went through his private correspondences, the ruling was  still eventually in favor of his employer.

The European Court of Human Rights ruled that your boss can now read your WhatsApp messages and any other private communications you send during work hours officially.

This means that all private communications, including WhatsApp or standard text messages, can be assessed by employers during your work hours even if made on a personal device, according to the ruling.
