PSA- I'm not letting my company force me to delete your posts.

I don't think you really have a clue and I am betting your 'company' was a 1987 Buick with a couple magnetic signs on it.

If someone goes out on a site that carries their real name and they list their real employer along with it, the company they work for can indeed have a concern.

Especially if that person goes out with something like "I work for Oscar Meyer and I am willing to bet we do indeed use horse meat in our products".

I don't think that employee would win in a court of law and I am sure they'd side with allowing an immediate termination.

That's more or less what the OP's rules are about. Social Networking sites put up all your brands that are more or less "don't ask, don't tell" at the workplace.

This applies to pseudonyms and not naming the company isn't relevant.

"Asshole". I have just violated company policy.

well unless we can see your 'manual', I'd say you have it way off.

Alkmyst: Blah, blah
Anybody else: No, that's not what it means.
Alkemyst: Everybody but me is lying.

When will he learn?

The "lesson" was by computer which took twenty minutes and had questions at the end. 100% score.

The talking points were bulleted, the juicy details spoken. I suspect that's intentional. Hard to take a pic of a voice.

I have learned many do not know what the fuck they are reading and jump to conclusions/exaggerations. At my last job we had an open internet policy. We filtered sites we didn't want the employees to go to. They were instructed not to devulge company secrets outside of the office nor make derogatory comments about the company. Everything was done through our legal department and a third-party.

At the end of the day it's also why their careers go nowhere. The man is holding them back.

This should be documented somewhere in your employers handbook. The video is just a delivery method.

Ask to talk to legal for your company and they can get it I am sure.

This message is hidden because alkemyst is on your ignore list.

Everyone else should really try this.

That's not a bad idea. It's not on the company website yet so I fired off a request to my boss for an explicit written policy. This could be interesting.

Well, fuck if I know better, but that has always been one of the first things I read through. I have yet to be offered a position at any company that didn't reference how to go about getting a copy (as you are supposed to go and read that on your own time), yet many claim they have never seen it.

Fact is most are just so happy they got a fucking job they don't bother reading anything and just sign where they are told.

Any company worth it's salt will have the rules every employee is expected to follow, all the policies and procedures, etc documented so when a lawsuit does happen they can reference that and the part in the new hire paperwork where the employee signed that they have review that document and agree.
