Critical Thinking Questions Case 5-1
You are very busy at home and at work and are concerned about finding the time to shop for a wedding gift for your cousin. A friend sends you a personal email containing a link to the Overstock website and tells you about the great deals she has found at the website. You consider taking a quick break from work to search for a gift at the website. Additionally, it is really tempting to use the company's high-speed Internet connection to search online for a gift since the Internet access you have at home is much slower.
A family member spends a lot of time sending, receiving, and reading personal email messages while at work. You suggest that she _____.

• A) is exposing her company to viruses and other security breaches
• B) is very clever to get her personal email taken care of at work
• C) should also capitalize on her company's high-speed Internet access to get most of her shopping done at work
• D) ask her supervisor to approve overtime so that she can get her tasks done; there just isn't enough time in the workday
