Let's not forget the boss in this incident also casted a shadow of his own and her posting gave him the green light to be even more unprofessional. He could have just notified her that he'd read what she posted and made a managerial decision that her employment was terminated because of her statement. While the young office employee was very unprofessional in her online post, and plainly revealed her attitude toward her employer and office duties, it is not at all correct for a superior to voice his opinion in his reply. His response reflected her statement very accurately. Also, the employees claims we're also dismissed based on the employers sexual preference. Perverted statements in an office environment can be made towards any sex from any sexual preference. My opinion is the boss should be evaluated and the employee seems to have worked it out for themselves.

I was sent that Facebook blunder, as were a lot of colleagues and friends, which just shows the power and reach these networks have!

As long as individuals really think before they post their comments and don't vent their work frustrations out online, they should be allowed to utilise social media for professional and personal use. Social media makes privacy a thing of the past, so an individual has to consider their reputation no matter where or when they use it.

This issue is something that many companies and institutions haven't really assimilated yet. In our museum we encourage people to be active on Social Media, but, of course, for professional networking. I think that in a few months (years?) it will be a practice as common as having e-mail at work is today.

Great example! Very hard to believe someone would forget about adding thier own boss and then go on to post something of that nature, but obviously it happens. I work at a company with some liberal policies on social networking and we have been fortunate enough that our employees keep it professional while also creating new connections and leads everyday! Only goes to show that it can work if the right guidelines and training programs are implemented, just as you stated in your post. Thanks!

Great post, I am not sure why people feel the need to post things like this for all the world to say. Its understandable to say if you've had a bad day and to blow off some steam with your friends. But when your online everything you do and say can be found and take noted for.

I truly don't understand how unprofessional some people can be on social media sites. I know of several companies who have gotten “caught with their pants down” on social media sites. It's not pretty. My motto is to simply be respectful, whether you disagree with others or not.
