Can your employer discipline you for comments on social media?

[@GamerForBritain]

Law needs updating, if an employer wants to control an employee 24/7 then they need to pay for those hours. Otherwise an employer has no say in what someone does out side of paid hours.

[@stephenbreen7570]

Absolutely. The only exception I can see. Is if you are in charge of a company social media profile. But then again, you're being paid to do that.

[@mojothejester9889]

I got fired for saying online the place I worked at was run by idiots, after they knew I had a 3 hour commute, and they told me to go home after 1 hour of being there to "prepare for my end of probationary period meeting". Why they couldn't have sent me a message while I was at home is baffling. Now I just don't include where I work on any of my social media profiles.

[@icecreamforever]

Does this work the other way round? Can you claim if your employer does something?

[@jillyd2807]

Love how you speak. Very clear and succinct!! 😀

[@auntigingy8666]

What about comments that you make supporting activities that break the law?

[@briansaiditsoitmustbetrue4206]

WHY ..post stuff about your employer online.. 1) Turn up 2) Do your job 3) Go home

[@ciaran134]

Yes we've got a thing in our contracts which states it and its strict

Hi Daniel I'm a recent subscriber I have a question the HR policies you mentioned at the end of the video are they valid for 2022?

[@nadzideaz9341]

Thanks for sharing. ...

[@matthewsmith2787]

Yes, it’s certainly be possible to be questioned by the employer.

[@mrlover4310]

Sounds like to me it is a erosion of your freedom of speech. If the employers are saying you are representing them 24/7 that means they need to pay you 24/7 for representation. That sounds like a big bill coming their way?

[@Barbarian646]

Agreed

[@flyinghorse2739]

Very good point!!

[@danni858]

If you look at some of the examples it’s not freedom of speech, it’s hate speech and bullying behaviour. People aren’t dismissed for well constructed commentary.

[@Barbarian646]

@@danni858 it's not hate speech, its just an opinion. Man up.

[@EgoShredder]

So I guess people at job interviews should ask the potential employer, if they engage in spying on their employees via social media.

[@shez4058]

It's not really spying though is it? It's within the public domain, accessible to anyone?

[@EgoShredder]

@@shez4058 In other words I want to see the interviewer's own personal Facebook page (not the company's), to decide if I want to work there or not. You might say what has that to do with your job application, and I would answer why has mine anything to do with it either? We did not have this level of intrusion pre-social media era.

[@BooSilva]

Can your employer dismiss you for gross misconduct if you have a rant to your friend in a private WhatsApp chat about your leadership team just between the two of you that the friend then uses against you when they raise an allegation against you (that has no relation to the chat but is used to show unprofessional conduct)? The comment made was the leadership team were s**t.

[@coderider3022]

Doubt it. Laugh it off, it’s not public.

[@hagakure222]

Basically, behave like good little productive slaves when online and don't rock the boat!

I only done my prays 🙏🏻 so if I get in trouble for that so be it my faith is my faith

Even with the current dip , I'm so excited I've built my portfolio to $50,560 from my weekly trade. I'm having my fourth withdrawal in 10 business days 💯

[@greysonyhk2826]

After watching so many KZbin tutorial videos about trading I was still making losses until Mr Jesse Powell started managing my Investments now I make $10,567 weekly. God bless Mr Powell he’s been a blessing to my family

[@allisonmoore5712]

Oh please guys, is there anyway I can speak with Mr Powell, this sounds so helpful and I would love to join the train🙏

So much for freedom of speech 🤷🏻

[@Barbarian646]

None of those examples from Twitter are grounds for dismissal

[@EgoShredder]

Agreed, those tweets were not specifically directed to any individual, in a way that could be deemed slanderous.

[@schrire39]

Unfortunately for you, the courts thought otherwise.
