Does Your Dealer Block Social Media?

TJYoung
 
If the employees at the dealership choose to waste their time surfing porn, they are most likely not the right people that will serve the dealership in the long term.  In my experience, poor work habits by employees is a reflection of the leadership at the very top of the organization.  Painful to hear, but so often this is the case.
 
The commitment and passion of the employees at any company is directly related to the leaders of the company.   If the dealership employees have no respect for their time and the investment made by their dealer principal, there are bigger problems at play.
 
Internet access is not the biggest one by far! 
 
 

✨ AI Highlights

Dealers debate whether to block social media on workplace computers, with perspectives ranging from outright blocking (citing bandwidth concerns, productivity loss, and brand risk) to cautious openness (arguing employees access it via phones anyway and could be trained to sell cars through it). A key insight that emerged is that blocking social media addresses a symptom rather than the root problem — poor employee behavior and wasted time reflect leadership failures, not internet access policies.
