Today's reminder of the insider threat involves a pharmacist in Maryland who over a period of 8 years or more, used keyloggers and installed spyware on about 400 computers at the University of Maryland Medical System so he could spy on female co-workers in private moments at work (such as changing clothes, breastfeeding their babies), and in their homes. He was reportedly fired in October 2024, and was able to get another job in another healthcare facility in Maryland because there has been no criminal charges filed against him yet and UMMS apparently didn't alert his new employer.

If Maryland law is like my state's laws, the hospital may be barred legally from revealing what happened if asked for a recommendation by the new employer. And it seems the Maryland state pharmacy board can't just suspend a license unless there's been a conviction, so the failure to have criminal charges filed already seems to have put more potential victims at risk.

Unsurprisingly, a potential class action lawsuit has already been filed against UMMS with six plaintiffs so far. There are estimates that there are more than 80 victims of the now-former employee.

Pet to threat is a theory elaborated by Dr. Kecia M. Thomas on the relationship between the corporate world and Black women. When this Black woman joined the show, she was told that her knowledge and experience mattered, she was celebrated, but soon after I noticed a subtle shift where her presence, her voice, her opinions, the very things she was probably asked to bring to the ensemble were being silenced. #racism #workplace #Canada #BlackMastodon

Much of leadership boils down to turning adversaries into allies. In this piece, the authors discuss three persuasion strategies leaders can employ when faced with a disagreement in the workplace.

Harvard Business Review · How to (Actually) Change Someone’s MindMuch of leadership boils down to turning adversaries into allies. In this piece, the authors discuss three persuasion strategies leaders can employ when faced with a disagreement in the workplace: the Cognitive Conversation, which is best for convincing colleagues focused on the rational reasons behind a decision, the Champion Conversation, which is best for convincing colleagues with whom you have a strained relationship, and the Credible Colleague Approach, which is best for convincing someone who has preconceived notions that you’re unlikely to be able to change on your own. Armed with these three methods, leaders can modulate their arguments —in terms of both content and presentation — to maximize their chances of reaching an agreement and preserving a positive working relationship.

ScholarWorks@GVSUCommunicative Interventions for Autistic Employees in Academic WorkplacesThis essay provides an autoethnographic account of my experiences as an autistic employee in academia. By examining organizational communication literature on autism in the workplace, I identify some key issues that autistic employees face in academic workplaces. With research finding approximately 85% of autistic individuals are unemployed, and of those who are employed, only 6% are competitively employed in jobs that utilize their educational training and/or professional skill level, current cultural discourses around diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives in the workplace provide an opportunity to make organizational challenges for autistic employees more visible. By sharing my own experiences in the workplace, and pairing it with current organizational communication research, I offer four strategic communicative interventions that employers might utilize in managing autistic employees.
