# ALTERNATIVE NAME 1: Statement 1 - I believe that companies should bot have a zero-tolerance policy on the use of social media by their employees.  While it's essential for employees to maintain professionalism and not misuse company time, a complete ban on social medial can stifle communication, creativity, and engagement.  Instead, companies should establish clear guidelines and encourage responsible social media use, striking a balance between productivity and employee well0being.
# ALTERNATIVE NAME 2: Statement 2 - No - as its just not constructive, employees will not feel happy to come to work. They should not be micromanaged - no one likes to be micromanaged
# ALTERNATIVE NAME 3: Statement 3 - I don't think that companies should have a zero-tolerance policy on the use of social media by their employees. I think that using social media during breaks might be beneficial as employees might refocus on work feeling more relaxed. However, it's important to monitor that using social media doesn't distract employees from their tasks. I think ultimately it creates an environment of distrust to ban social media which isn't conducive to better performance.
# ALTERNATIVE NAME 4: Statement 4 - It depends on how much of a problem this is.  If staff have been found to be spending too much time which is affecting their work then yes it should be enforced.  However, it should be permissable during breaks or lunch.  If it is not affecting work productivity then it should be ok to let staff access social media as long as they are not posting anything about work
# ALTERNATIVE NAME 5: Statement 5 - I am not sure if I understand the question fully. Is it something about whether companies should allow or don't allow employees to use social media? Its every ones's personal choice whether to use or not but should not use during work-time.  If its about zoro tolatance on descrimination and hate content on the company;s social media platform than yes it should be zero tolarance policy
