SCENARIOPlease use the following to answer the next question:Felicia has spent much of her adult life overseas, and has just recently returned to the U.S. to help her friendCeleste open a jewelry store in California. Felicia, despite being excited at the prospect, has a number ofsecurity concerns, and has only grudgingly accepted the need to hire other employees. In order to guardagainst the loss of valuable merchandise, Felicia wants to carefully screen applicants. With their permission,Felicia would like to run credit checks, administer polygraph tests, and scrutinize videos of interviews. Sheintends to read applicants’ postings on social media, ask questions about drug addiction, and solicit characterreferences. Felicia believes that if potential employees are serious about becoming part of a dynamic newbusiness, they will readily agree to these requirements.Felicia is also in favor of strict employee oversight. In addition to protecting the inventory, she wants to preventmistakes during transactions, which will require video monitoring. She also wants to regularly check thecompany vehicle’s GPS for locations visited by employees. She also believes that employees who use theirown devices for work-related purposes should agree to a certain amount of supervision.Given her high standards, Felicia is skeptical about the proposed location of the store. She has been told thatmany types of background checks are not allowed under California law. Her friend Celeste thinks these worriesare unfounded, as long as applicants verbally agree to the checks and are offered access to the results. Nordoes Celeste share Felicia’s concern about state breach notification laws, which, she claims, would be costly toimplement even on a minor scale. Celeste believes thateven if the business grows a customer database of a few thousand, it’s unlikely that a state agency wouldhassle an honest business if an accidental security incident were to occur.In any case, Celeste feels that all they need is common sense – like remembering to tear up sensitivedocuments before throwing them in the recycling bin. Felicia hopes that she’s right, and that all of her concernswill be put to rest next month when their new business consultant (who is also a privacy professional) arrivesfrom North Carolina.Regarding credit checks of potential employees, Celeste has a misconception regarding what?

SCENARIOPlease use the following to answer the next question:Larry has become increasingly dissatisfied with his telemarketing position at SunriseLynx, and particularly withhis supervisor, Evan. Just last week, he overheard Evan mocking the state’s Do Not Call list, as well as thepeople on it. “If they were really serious about not being bothered,” Evan said, “They’d be on the national DNClist. That’s the only one we’re required to follow. At SunriseLynx, we call until they ask us not to.”Bizarrely, Evan requires telemarketers to keep records of recipients who ask them to call “another time.” This,to Larry, is a clear indication that they don’t want to be called at all. Evan doesn’t see it that way.Larry believes that Evan’s arrogance also affects the way he treats employees. The U.S. Constitution protectsAmerican workers, and Larry believes that the rights of those at SunriseLynx are violated regularly. At first Evanseemed friendly, even connecting with employees on social media. However, following Evan’s political posts, itbecame clear to Larry that employees with similar affiliations were the only ones offered promotions.Further, Larry occasionally has packages containing personal-use items mailed to work. Several times, thesehave come to him already opened, even though this name was clearly marked. Larry thinks the opening ofpersonal mail is common at SunriseLynx, and that Fourth Amendment rights are being trampled under Evan’sleadership.Larry has also been dismayed to overhear discussions about his coworker, Sadie. Telemarketing calls areregularly recorded for quality assurance, and although Sadie is always professional during business, herpersonal conversations sometimes contain sexual comments. This too is something Larry has heard Evanlaughing about. When he mentioned this to a coworker, his concern was met with a shrug. It was thecoworker’s belief that employees agreed to be monitored when they signed on. Although personal devices areleft alone, phone calls, emails and browsing histories are all subject to surveillance. In fact, Larry knows of onecase in which an employee was fired after an undercover investigation by an outside firm turned up evidence ofmisconduct. Although the employee may have stolen from the company, Evan could have simply contacted theauthorities when he first suspected something amiss.Larry wants to take action, but is uncertain how to proceed.In regard to telemarketing practices, Evan the supervisor has a misconception regarding?
