Whether or not an employee should be punished for something they did outside of their working hours is a debate that has HR at the heart of it. We’ve seen employees be let go for expressing their political and social views, for making racist remarks and for generally being unpleasant online.
And in today’s accessible age, it’s all too easy for employers to stalk out your social media page and find a post you haphazardly made years ago. The obvious moral of the story is not to vent on Facebook at three o clock in the morning, and yet some workers still find it impossible to resist the lure of online comment sections.
