Discussion Question 2

WeGotApps, a revolutionary software application development company, is developing rapidly and hiring hundreds of new employees every month. The CEO places a premium on software programmers, but tends to ignore administrative functions such as human resources. In fact, the CEO instructs his managers to begin monitoring all electronic communications and social media posts of WeGotApps employees without alerting the employees to this fact; he wants to know which employees he can trust and which employees he might want to release. What issues might the CEO encounter by taking this approach to human resources management? Can these potential issues be mitigated through a course of action other than creating a human resources function, or is a human resources function a necessity for the continued development and success of the business? Explain.
