Work and what you write on social media

[Scotty 1978]

A bloke started with us just before Christmas, a wife (nosey kernt) out of the office yesterday had a look through his Facebook page, pretty harmless loads of anti Sunderland pro mag stuff, like “back shift at Nissan, 5under1and etc shite like that” but further back it becomes racist, loads of anti BLM matter stuff and a status about him going to shop at Morrisons because it only had white people on their Christmas advert, also loads of anti vax nonsense and Covid was a massive fake story, proper tin foil hat stuff, should this effect the blokes job or does it not matter ? Too be fair if I was in recruitment I’d be having a spy on social media.

To be fair he sounds like the normal type of simpleton who uses Facebook.

We've got a social media policy at work. People have been sacked due to stuff they've posted on Facebook etc.

Proper mag used pictures of MBS as his profile picture

I think that's fair if it's whilst employed by them. Might be a bit harsh to boot the fella for his daftness from years before.

Actually nah, he's a Mag. Get rid.

Anybody with a bit of self esteem wouldn't use Facebook or social media unless it was just to interact with family etc! Not worth the risk - just incase HR or your boss is snooping!

 

[EDGE]

Mag Covid denier? What more reasons do you need to get rid.

Be gone.

 

[Scotty 1978]

Too be honest he’s never mentioned anything about football since he’s started

 

[Space Hopper]

I'm sorry, I don't follow you?

 

[The Truth]

Sounds like they've employed a Grade A tatey on all fronts, get rid.

Yep common practice these days, we are well aware of it in our place

 

[mini-x2]

I bet he's a Brexiteer who thinks Donald Trump is fantastic and reads the Daily Mail. NAILED ON.

If you’re going to have social media, at least lock your profile so only friends and family can see it. I imagine it will be considered bringing the company into disrepute, for hiring an open racist.

Bloke at my old place got sacked for posting he was off to the pub if anyone fancied joining him - it was 3pm on a Saturday, he was meant to be working till 6 and had our gaffer as a ‘friend’ on Facebook - deserved it if you ask me

Good for him for being anti blm, they are a racist organisation, followed by rioters and also far left scum

Edit, the geordie bastard

I think he's in there now mate. There's a thread about his aversion to paying for his stuff.

Yes they're not the brightest.

If you apply for a job then don't be surprised if one of the first things they do in screening is check you out on social media. Better to know in advance rather than have something surface later.

Recruitment agencies do/did

I would say that it should be down to the hiring company to do due diligence on anyone they employ, if they look like a wrongun, sift them out, if they are applying for Nissan and the likes it might not matter what they have posted previously if they are going to be on the line. If they are applying for Head of HR, it may be a problem

Postings made after they have been employed however always come in useful when you want to get rid of somebody, then the disrepute thing is an option.

If I was looking for a decent job currently, I would probably suspend all of my social media accounts.
