  • When An Employee's Comments Go To Far On Social Media, How Should Employers React?

    It’s no secret that social media has become an increasingly important part of our daily lives. We use it to share our successes, keep track of friends and family, and engage in discussions about the issues of the day – but what happens when we share our personal views that might conflict with the views of our employer? This week, former baseball player Curt Schilling was fired from his job as an analyst at ESPN after sharing a photo and commentary on his personal Facebook page that was widely seen as discriminatory against transgender people. While Schilling is a high-profile example of someone getting in hot water with their employer over something said social media, it’s something that employees and employers of all stripes have been dealing with in recent years. A social media expert weighs in on how both sides are navigating these murky waters.
