An unfair boss, an angry employee, and a working broadband connection can add up to a few hasty tweets flying through cyberspace \u2013 and sometimes coming back to roost.<\/p>\n
According to one survey compiled in the UK by a leading recruitment agency, a staggering 40% of employees have criticised their employers on social networking sites.<\/p>\n
And 20% of employees say they have \u201clambasted\u201d their employer online, on at least one occasion.<\/p>\n
However, around half of us disapprove of this behaviour, and think the offenders should be punished.<\/p>\n
In a few cases, employees have been given the sack for online discretions- and Marks and Spencer once disciplined 76 staff for posting derogatory comments about customers online.<\/p>\n
Workers can avoid a lot of problems by exercising common sense. You wouldn\u2019t write something rude about your boss and put it on the staff notice board, would you?<\/p>\n
But in a court of law a post on Facebook may be seen in a similar light.<\/p>\n
Workplace lawyers say all companies should have a clear social media policy which states whether workers are allowed to access social media sites during work hours, and what disciplinary measures may be taken for breaches of the rules.<\/p>\n
