Why do employees cheat? Too much pressure
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at NewsFile -- It can happen in the branch office or the boardroom. Volkswagen did it to pass emissions tests. Wells-Fargo did it to squeeze more profits from their customers. Some school districts have it done it to boost their standardized test scores. Workplace cheating is a real and troublesome phenomenon, and new research from the University of Georgia explains how it starts--and how employers can help prevent it.
“It’s the desire for self-protection that primarily causes employees to cheat,” said Marie Mitchell, an associate professor of management in UGA’s Terry College of Business. “Employees want to look valuable and productive, especially if they think their job is at risk.”
In a recently published paper in the Journal of Applied Psychology, Mitchell and her co-authors examined performance pressure in the workplace and the behaviors that result from it. They found when employees feel their job depends on meeting high benchmarks, some fudge results in order to stay employed.

This is a new endeavour for us to integrate with steemit. That hasn't come up yet. I'll pass the suggestion up the chain of command.

You need to. Otherwise the account will be added to @cheetah's blacklist if we can't get content verification. Too many scammers here trying to pass themselves off as the owners of websites & content.

I'm worried about NewsRx appearing to dilute @cheatah bot's voting weight, is there not a limit on the number of upvotes it performs per account over a sliding time window?

So.. Now onto the next issue. Your going to get reported and commented on a lot if you don't source your quotes. A lot of the community takes it seriously. Just providing a link to the newsrx.com article is viewed as using an already plagiarized article as a source. It's been done ad nauseum in the past.
Spam could also be an issue. I'm assuming these are automated postings? Or even if they are just auto generated you need to be active in the community. I'm currently working to stop a lot of automated postings with zero community interaction.
Why don't you stop by steemit.chat or find me on Discord and talk about your posts and site. While not really what most of us envision steemit.com being used for you don't seem to be here to spam & scam as we like to say. I try to take the time to work with accounts to gain visibility and avoid abuse when I can.
