Can you get fired for Facebook comments?
Yes, you can get fired for posting comments on your personal Facebook page. Could this happen to you?
This is one of the first cases where comments have led to the termination of a Canadian employee.
The summary of the incident is that the terminated employee, posted insulting, aggressive, and offensive comments about members of the workplace. The comments included homophobic slurs and threats.
I personally think that keeping work and personal life separate is the best advice. Damaging comments made by employees can result in being fired, as demonstrated by this article, but in other cases can cause friction in the workplace.
What do you think about being fired for posting on Facebook? What would be the alternative to firing this person?
