Employee gets written up by HR for posting about disliking Mondays on personal social media account: 'Someone in the office is creeping on my social media'
cheezburger.com
There are a number of reasons why HR might reprimand you for something… but this seems a bit far-fetched. Here, we have an employee who, like any other twenty-something employee in the 2020s, has a personal social media account where they post photos with friends and the occasional relatable memes. This past weekend, the employee shared a relatively benign photo of their friend group grabbing drinks on a Saturday night. There was nothing inappropriate documented that could come back to bite the…

Because of crap like this is why I haven’t been on any mainstream social media for 7+ years. And where do companies get off going over employees’ personal crap anyway? For the record, I believe EVERYONE hates Mondays.

    Wtf is this page

    Keep scrolling below to see how the employee responded to all this nonsense.

    I actually did, you have to scroll for like a minute past comments (?) and ads to see the rest of this “article”. Wow, hello future entry on my block list.

      I always move straight to the screen shots. These are feeds I get via RSS, so I never actually “browse” that site.

        I checked again and you are right, what I saw was just some other article images. I do use ublock so I should have been tipped off that those shouldn’t be ads. Still the rest is true and cutting an article for some weird kind of user engagement is very silly.

          yes, it’s old news to me and probably you; but i think it bares repeating since there will always be someone who didn’t already know.
