HeadingNorth Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 If he's brought the company into disrepute with his comments, it matters not a jot where or to whom he made them, or whether the company wasn't supposed to find out. His only defence against that would be to argue that the comments weren't sufficiently derogatory to justify sacking him. That they were made privately to a few (supposedly!) friends is no defence at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid this is a hard one, because there was a personal problem that happend to my daughter, involving another girl. My daughter didn't actuaclly say anything herself via FB, but others did,?? there were no threats of any kind made, but my daughter had the police twice at her door advising her, not to be writing anything about this other girl. She stated she hadn't, but she still got warned, the police say they take anything thats said on FB, and always follow it up. I couldn't quite believe it, seemed a total waste of police time, with the amount of real crime, and yobs on streets causing havoc in others people lives. So as I said perhaps they could do .

HeadingNorth Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 :confused:do employers not have any rights anymore :confused: If you mean "employees" ... well, they never did have the right to bring their employers into disrepute by maligning them to other people. On the other hand, I don't know what has actually been said in this case, so I'm not claiming that a sacking would be justified in this case. I can't say.

Twiglet Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 :confused:do employers not have any rights anymore :confused: Employees? Of course they do, but they can't breach their contract or do anything that would be regarded as gross misconduct, which is a sackable offence. This includes posting privileged information about their employer, making derogatory comments about colleagues, or posting information that would bring a company into disrepute on Facebook.

Loubbe Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I went to a work meet a few months ago, and they specifically talked about fb. Basically, if you are going to be posting drunk pictures of yourself on there, do not affilialiate yourself with the company. If you are posting rude or controversial status updates, do not mention the company. If you are seen to be discrediting the company publicly this will be treated as a conduct issue, and subject to disciplinary process. Obviously this is a different company, however the general rule with fb is do not put anything on there you wouldn't want your boss or mother in law seeing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
