What does your company consider an off the clock fireable offense? Because we're currently debating if we can fire someone for what they've been posting on their Facebook page.

1- Do you have a policy on this subject?
2-What is the position of the employee?
3-Did the posting reflect on the company in anyway or was it more of a personal matter?
4- most importantly How bad was the posting in question?
Is it a picture posting of an employee partying, binge drinking on the beach, or is it say, of a racist or political inciting say violence against a targeted group?
Does it substantially harm the company or would give it a bad reputation?

Restrictions on social media posts should be role specific and dependent on the level of fiduciary responsible that role/person carries. I personally do not follow juniour members of the team online to help manage my own biases and expectations. If something is shared with me I look at it case by case with a broad panel and recommend to the leaders I work with to not apply any sanctions if there is no policy in place but instead share an expression of concern with the employee about the post not aligning with the company values and that you'd prefer not to see something like that stated publicly again.

After that work towards deciding what type of posts impact the businesses/leadership reputation, which hurt revenue, which have legal repercussions and which create a totally inaccurate picture the employee experience or company culture. Lastly, I'd decide which roles carry the most weight and would impact enterprise value if they posted something extreme online, and also consider whether a post just makes the leader/you feel uncomfortable because you're not used to seeing someone be this candid about their experience or life. The former requires a conversation, the latter requires a deeper understanding of the company culture and current skill gaps.

How does what they are posting apply to the job or workplace?

Whether you agree or not, social media, yes, even your personal pages, can still impact your career. Senior IT recruiter asks the best questions on it. If it reflects poorly on the company, it can come back to get you.

Companies generally have a policy addressing this.

It depends on policy and whether it impacts the workplace or breaches conduct standards. I would ensure consistency and legal advice before acting. Off duty does not always mean off impact.

Anyone have a ballpark range on dataiku price per seat or however they price? It looks like an interesting product.

Any advice as to how to help my other-half (who has bouts of anxiety and depression) apply to jobs? He’s going through a particularly rough patch at the moment. We had a big chat the other day which was great! However, even if we agreed that I’m doing everything I can for him (his words) it has to come from him (which we both agreed). He’s having a real mental block (I think with writing cover letters mostly) he describes staring at the screen feeling incapable. Any suggestions?

Question! I just moved(transferred) to another team of my company and received new title, graphic & creative services. I was a senior graphic designer at the previous team. What do you think about my new title? I know that title is not a big thing but why I feel like my title is downgraded here… Good thing is my jobs here at my current team are what I really wanted to do. This is amazing. I love my new team and people here! Super healthy working environment! But just curious about the title.

Resigned from my job for blatant racism last week. Been a contingent worker for 6 months. The manager that recruited me unfortunately left after a couple weeks and went to another company. She however recommended me for the permanent opportunity to higher management. The acting manager came in, permanent role was posted, I applied, interviewed……manager told me they chose someone else external for the role. I could sense the manager had no intentions to hire me permanently
