Tumblr in a Nutshell

I know this is supposed to be funny, but does it horrify anyone else that social media is being used by employers to monitor how happy we are to be slaves to capitalism and if we aren’t 1000% enthusiastic about having to work, you’re immediately terminated? He says “Good luck with your no money, no job life” but the implication is pretty clear–”Good luck starving to death because you didn’t live to serve me/my company”
So if you express a feeling about your job/working/capitalism on your own social media space that doesn’t please your employers, you’re punished.
Holy fuck
This is some dystopian shit right here
I would have an easier time believing this if she got fired for her religious belief or political affiliation but her remark was unprofessional and doesn’t exactly scream “This employee is going to work hard!”.
Also, another employee showed it to him. He wasn’t even looking for anything until someone brought it to his attention so can we cool it with the whole “it’s a dystopian nightmare!” thing?:
Considering that this is a teenager griping about working at a pizza place—which, to be fair, is a fuckass job; about the only good thing about working in food service is that you can sometimes get free food out of it—I wouldn’t be so quick to automatically judge her as an irresponsible slacker (she comes off kinda spacy on Twitter, but…seriously, I was probably worse at her age) over one whiny and vulgar but otherwise innocuous tweet. Also, it doesn’t really matter how the boss found out; it remains that he saw fit to not only fire her over Twitter over a whiny tweet, but to gloat about it. (Plus, one of those articles took a rather coded shot at her.)
Teal-deer: it’s not as if we’re talking about, say, a raging bigot; we’re talking about a pouty and possibly slightly spacy teenager. And being a pouty, spacy teenager—in and of itself—should not be grounds for termination.
Being a pouty and spacy isn’t grounds for termination? I’m sorry but as a boss I wouldn’t want to deal with that and judging that another employee showed it to them they probably didn’t want to deal with this teenager either.
Again, I don’t think he worded it right but the issue is more with that than firing her.
And I’m still not seeing the censorship. A private business can do what they want. Like how A&E briefly fired the father of Duck Dynasty over his comments. No one is saying you can’t say that but when it looks like it could affect productivity and brand image you swiftly cut them out.
All she had to do was to complain about it somewhere else but Twitter.
Again: she was on her own time. And she hadn’t started the job. The co-worker is also in the wrong—I don’t know what their aim was in sabotaging this kid, but that’s what they did—but the co-worker isn’t the one in the position of power.
He didn’t just “word it poorly.” He gloated.
There’s a reason I contrasted her actions with being “a raging bigot.” Phil Robertson got suspended for being a raging bigot of more than one stripe, and in an interview for a mainstream publication. And remember how many people leaped to his defense and cried “censorship” when that happened? Even if this kid is really the same level of genuinely awful person as opposed to just a dingbat, that tweet…doesn’t really indicate as much. (Meanwhile, Phil Robertson got his job back.)
Whether or not it was on Twitter is irrelevant. It remains that she was on her own time and that the tweet—while certainly whiny and vulgar—was nothing genuinely harmful.
“her remark was unprofessional” – for frak’s sake, PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO BE UNPROFESSIONAL WHEN THEY ARE NOT ON THE JOB.
This isn’t censorship at all. It’s something a hell of a lot worse: employers monitoring their employees’ off-the-clock behavior.
If you want to bitch about work and don’t want it getting back to your employer, don’t do your griping in a public space. This is poor example to build a crusade on because everyone is behaving unprofessionally. Chances are some fast food pizza joint does not have a formal employee social media policy, but many employers these days do to avoid these “I didn’t know I’d get fired for talking about how I hate me job.”
Think about it this way: if you go mouthing off about your soon-to-be-job in front of your boss in meatspace, what kind of reaction would you expect? If I heard my new hire talking on the phone, complaining about the job to their friend/SO/mom/whomever, I wouldn’t want them to even start, either. It’s clear they don’t want that job and probably didn’t even want it in the first place.
So many people think Twitter is private for some strange reason, that their tweets will be lost in the thousands of others tweeting at that same instant. Maybe they don’t realize people can search through tweets and tweeters? It’s all voluntarily-given information.
