Devjani Mishra Quoted in AllBusiness.com
"Social Networking -- Is it a Career Helper or a Career Hindrance?"

Devjani Mishra was quoted in the October 18, 2009 AllBusiness.com article, "Social Networking -- Is it a Career Helper or a Career Hindrance?" The article discussed the consequences of social networking and one's career. For instance, all posts to a social media site are time stamped, which means if you are typing when you should be working, anyone can trace this back to you. The article also pointed out that comments remain out there forever, "so once you say you are hating your job today, while you are at your job, your employer may one day stumble upon this fact." According to Devjani, employers must be vigilant about their employees' use of tools such as Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube at work, given, " . . . not only the loss of productivity and the risk on their systems, but also the risk of vicarious liability for discrimination, defamation, copyright and trademark infringement and many other violations that an employee may commit by posting content, whether intentionally or not."
