by savoytruffle Jan 14As social networking becomes more prominent everywhere I have run into new situations that I have no experience with. I disciplined an employee and she proceeded to her Facebook account to do some serious "employer bashing". She never mentioned the company by name, but mentioned coworkers by name and stirred up some serious drama on my unit. Have any of you encountered this before and how did you address social networking etiquette with the rest of the staff?

Jan 14 by CapeCodMermaidI could have written the same thing. I counseled someone today for what they posted on Facebook.
We have the same problem. I'm all for freedom of speech, but if you have a problem at work talk to your supervisor and don't act like a silly boob on Facebook. People want to be treated in a professional manner and then go and post some totally unprofessional blah blah blab on Facebook.
I have staff members in my office crying because of what someone posted. If you get that upset by what's on there, don't read it! - Jan 14 by savoytruffleI was disappointed that someone could have such a negative effect on the floor without even being present. What really bothered me was the attitude that some of the staff had. As if they were victims of some sort of imagined oppression of free speech after I reminded them that what they post may be considered defamatory or libelous, and that they should think before feeding into negative discussions on FB. It's just lack of respect and courtesy online. If you wouldn't say it to a colleague while at work, don't post it!!
