One of the Biggest Social Media Stories Is About to Unfold!

From the Wall Street Journal comes what I believe is one of the biggest social media and human resources stories in many years: Some companies have fired employees for social media posts and it's starting to backfire!


Next week a National Labor Relations Board judge takes up the case of whether an employee was illegally fired for criticizing her boss on Facebook. In another notable case a teach claims she was fired after posting a picture of her holding a glass of wine while on a European vacation.


Have companies gone too far? We are about to find out and I promise you this will have big ramifications.
