Living in the 21st century means that almost everything we do is on a digital device. This is no different in the workplace. After COVID, working from home has skyrocketed and is one of the primary ways of working now. This in itself allows for workplace deviance. If your company does not have a monitoring device on your equipment at home, an employee could easily take vital information and use it for their own personal gain. This also allows for the opportunity for employees to have more than one job and sometimes within the same field but with a rival company so data sharing would be at risk. I think the most common example of workplace deviance comes from an employee who has been fired or is unahappy at their job whether it be for them getting looked over for a promotion or them not liking their supervisor. This puts companies at risk for these employees to potentially collect and sell their important information to a rival company, a hacker, or even sell the information to the dark web where anyone can get ahold of this information. Another huge action that is an example of workplace deviance is someone who works at a company and they deliberately turn off cybersecurity software allowing hackers to easily gain access to this company’s information. They don’t have to turn it off but they could just simplify the firewall or not update the software settings still allowing the company to be vulnerable to a cyber attack. As technology advances, so will workplace deviance. There will always be a form of it going on since people are easily persuaded and are willing to betray their company for money or a better role. It is important that companies are prepared for this and have regulations in place on what to do if something like this occurs and more importantly, really think twice about who has access to the most important information a company needs.
