Question - You are a computer system manager.An employee is out sick and another employee request?
... that you copy all files from the sick persons computer to hers so she can do some work or:... that you copy all files from the sick person's com
... that you copy all files from the sick person's computer to hers so she can do some work
or:... that you copy all files from the sick person's computer to hers so she can do some work
or:Report to your superior...
or:Ethical decision depends in part, on policies and expectations at particular company. Also on perhaps requiring more information. It should be ethically illegal to just give the information about that personals life .It should be your obligation to know who and why he needed for security and following the rules in company. To communicate with sick employee. I will know what files they are going to copy and then if I can\u2019t call my sick employee, maybe I will consider sending or going to my employee\u2019s house to ask about this other employee\u2019s request in copying his files.Asking for permission from manager. I will Request authorization from manager, or employee\u2019s line manager due to copy all files from the sick person\u2019s computer to another worker. Reason for need all information. I would ask why he/she needs the information because personal files should be private and cannot just share it to someone. If the reason is valid then I would just give him/her some information about the person, but if not, then I won\u2019t give any information about the person. To secure all transfer files. I won\u2019t still approach this employee because sharing one\u2019s personal files should be secured because it should be your duty as an employee to obey the rules especially because you are working on company.In actual case, system manager refused to transfer all files, but agreed to transfer specific files if given the filenames.
or:NEVER do this without a request from the sick employee's boss.I guess my question is; if this is a business......aren't all of the computers on the same main frame? If they are.....then there's NO reason to copy anything.....just access.
