Facebook and Employment?

It's a real shame that you don't know anybody.
Tonight I'll be with around 200 people who I can call friends and Colesia and Amanda will be there.
Go get a life little boy.

So tell me who you think I actually know who is a name?
I can't wait for this one.

There's no way she can be sacked for the comments in the OP. Though they could be used as supporting evidence towards other things. If I had staff acting uninterested in work, being disruptive, lazy, or similar and then I saw comments like that then I wouldn't be happy.

Never ever ever post about work on Facebook even if its positive.

The last few jobs I've had all said in the contract that comments of any sort about the company on facebook - even positive ones - are completely and utterly banned and that the employer was within its rights to sack you for them.

It's a pretty common occurence. My mates all have stipulations in their work contracts saying not to mention anything about work on facebook. Put it this way - your company would NOT tolerate you going out on the street and saying how mundane or menial your job is - and facebook is no different, if not reaching to an even larger audience.

You shouldn't post about work anyway.

As your reply was definitely not in the spirit of my post, I will have to reply in kind...

Little boy? OK! If that's what you want to believe then fine, but I'd rather be me than an incontinent old man desperately clinging to some faint thread of youth trying to be some sort of pub rock star.

Almost all of your posts are, and have always been, either somehow prefaced with you being in a band or you knowing someone relevant to the situation. If there is one thing we can rely on, it is a dmpole post about how you have a friend with x or that has done y or been to z. That's the joke, that's where the little light-hearted digs you keep getting come from.
 
If you're stupid enough to use Facebook or any other 'Social Media' where you post inane drivel about your insignificant lives in futile attempts to show how 'socially' better you are than the other narcissists then you deserve everything you get.

How did you know I was incontinent :eek:

Anyway, Amanda (my friend) goes out with a bloke friend and they've been having a bad time.
The other week I asked the bloke friend if everything was OK and his reply was 'This is the first time I've had a relationship where Facebook is involved'.
T'is true, everytime they have an argument she goes on Facebook talking about it and it just got too much for my bloke friend that he has now kicked her out.
Even her daughters would post up a status like 'fed up with the arguing' or other such stuff which means 1000s of people know their business.
Her status 5 minutes ago was 'Me & ***** trying to make another go of it' - WTF.
If Mrs Dimple posted 'Dave the incontinent old man desperately clinging to some faint thread of youth trying to be some sort of pub rock star has poo'd his pants again' I wouldn't be very happy that she called me Dave.
 
Talking about work on Facebook is strictly prohibited where I work, it's cost a couple of people their jobs, infact one employee in particular was taking pictures of customers, uploading them to Facebook and making callous comments about them, only to be called into the office one morning after and was suspended pending investigation.

Yes but that's just plain stupidity, there should be nothing wrong with expressing how you are feeling about a shift. Hell half the people in the This Instant and Moment thread complain about work every day. Maybe they should all get the sack aswell

Well if an employee is expressing their sheer dismay of having to work or speaking ill of the company they work for then what did they expect?

That's when I'd be on a half marathon and got taken short.
Top Tip - Always carry toilet paper when going for a big run.
 
Pretend you have vast legal resources and cite Article 8 amd 9 AND 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights and that you will proceed with highly publicised, lengthy and costly litigation against them.

Boom.

Is she terrible at her job? The obvious thing which struck me was that whilst this isn't a sackable offence in its own right, it's probably a decent place to start if a company wants you out for other reasons.

I'm sure you're joking, but OP don't advise your GD to do this - well, unless you know that they don't retain any legal staff for matters exactly like this.
