SO a 22 year old kid named Connor Mcilvenna made some remarks on his personal facebook page about the riot that happened recently in our lovely country. Now, I don't agree with the remarks he made. I can see how it could be taken as crude humor, but with $1.3M worth of damage.. I can see how no one is laughing. But being fired for posting something on his personal facebook. I don't think that's kool. Maybe a stern talking to from the boss. Maybe ask him to remove the company's name and information from his social media outlet. But losing your job for having an opinion with your friends. Who's the ass that sold him out? The only people he should have on there are people he knows. Unless he's one of those jackasses that adds everyone he ever comes into contact with. If you are going to do that you need to have two. One where you can talk with your actual friends about feelings and and opinions, and then one where you are a professional. Right? Wait that sounds idiotic too.
I try to keep only close friends, family or people that I actually talk to on facebook. I have people from highschool add me from time to time. I add them cuz what the hell I knew them at some point. But if they haven't talked to me or commented on any thing for a month.. you gotta go. I wanna chat with people, wait wait.. sorry.. got off topic.
So back to young Mr. Mcilvenna.. like I said above. I say hire him back if he is a good employee, give him a stern talking to, remove business info from his facebook so there is no online association, and I'm sure dude has learned his lesson. If he's a shitty employee then.. fuck him I guess he had it coming, next time don't go down to watch a city get destroyed dipshit.
But what do you guys think? Where does your place of employement rights end and your personal time start? Hit me back.. thanks!

This subject tends to piss me off. I think it sucks that it comes down to having a professional profile and a personal one. Anytime I hear of a teacher who is of age getting fired for having photos of them consuming alcohol sends me into a rage. I just don't get it.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree.. where is the line. I think a person should be able to do what they want, within the law I mean. Sure teachers shouldnt' add their students, but why can't they have a pic of them having a margarita while away on vacation in Mexico you know..
