Employers snooping social media


I never use work computers to log onto and post to any site (facebook, here etc). I always use my phone. I think it looks awful when you walk by someones desk and they've got facebook or something on the monitor
 
As long as your using your own device, on your own network, in your own time and you dont have your employer listed on your account then its no business of your employer what you post - regardless of how bad it is as long as its legal (IMO).

Yeah maybe for example really high ups like MP's or CEO's of massive companies I can understand.
 
If the racism did not affect the work or was not in anyway related to the company how could they sack someone?
It isn’t illegal to be racist. If no law was broken then on what grounds would someone be sacked?
You can be sacked without breaking the law. If you have worked there for less than 2 years they don't need any grounds to sack you, so if you're bringing bad publicity to them they can just let you go.

The law of not wanting somebody deeply unpleasant working for them?
 
It's laughable, because your actual employers would close ranks and make you out to be a liar if you ever said you were being discriminated against at work.
 
I've seen someone post creepy/degrading things about the women he works with and he has also posted the name of his employer. I'm not sure if it's in jest but it gives me the ick.

…and here we have it. I’m pretty sure that anyone working for your org’n could raise a complaint of sexual harassment, and once it was brought to their attention, they have a responsibility to deal with it. If it makes you feel the ick, I dare say it would make me feel the ick too. So that would be enough.

But the photy is you aye? ;)
We have a zero tolerance policy. So if I post something offensive, I will get sacked

Political posts are also frowned upon. So even I posted something accurate like “the Tory party are twats”, I can get into trouble
It's part of the control of political engagement, try to keep everyone as neutral (conservative) as possible.

I don’t think political engagement of the ‘I don’t agree with Conservative Party policy’ type is necessarily the point of the control agenda. It’s more likely the use of the word ‘twat’ to be fair.
