Opportunities of Workplace Deviance

Advancements in cyber technology have allowed companies to be able to use unethical practices that have resulted in workplace deviance. The more creative functions developed within cyber technology have allowed more opportunities for it. One opportunity would be how companies use computers with algorithms to unethically compete against humans in the open market. It’s unfair competition as computers are quicker to action that a normal human would be and allows for easier workload. Another example is how an employee within a company can hack into the servers or DDOS it to take vital information. Throughout the time of an employee working at a company, they can gain more knowledge into the weakpoints and how to penetrate the defenses of a company. They might use their own knowledge deviously against the company for their own personal gain. Cyberbullying is another great example as it still continues to be a major issue in the online world, in which people in the same workplace who might have dislikings for each other can turn to the internet to threaten and bully them through messages and attacks such as DDOSs. Companies will continue to find more ways to inappropriately use cyber technology as it is constantly developing.
