job. living essentials, he dissed a product. it was because there was a facebook page call eed five-hou energy stocks. i liked the page. i don t like the product that they make. they said if i don t like the product an i work there that makes the company look bad. okay. so the company living essentials showed drew the door. he says he doesn t remember the company having an internet policy. the only thing assigned was statement that we wouldn t take pictures of anything inside the building, we can t have cell phones, stuff like that. okay. so he tried to contact the company for its response and let s talk about this with paul gillen. still trying to get in touch with them. paul gillen, a social media expert and author. this guy might not have realized it and may have as well stood on
a roof top and said how much he doesn t like the drink and it is his own company s product. the companies monitor hate groups an sites on facebook and look for activity like this and they core late that with the people they may be watching. could be the employee was on a watchlist anyway and a convenient excuse for firing him but dissing the company in public is never good idea and today the public complaints can reach a global audience. isn t it common sense, you don t bite the hand that feeds you? it is common sense. to give the man the credit, the company may not have had a policy about this kind of thing. i think these days companies need to have clear policies about what employees can and can t say in social networks because nearly everybody is on facebook. many people are blogging and using twitter. and you really need to be clear with people about what is crossing the line but in this case i think this was just a breach of common sense. bottom line it for us, paul. bot
