Back in September, the Canberra Times published an article on the consequences of government employees who criticise their employers on social media.
“If you spend time bagging your organisation online or offline, you should not think that your employment is going to continue unconditionally,” he told the audience.
“You shouldn’t be surprised by the consequences.”
“If you post defamatory material on a pinboard in the office, this behaviour should be treated in the same way as posting that material online.
This article is relevant to all of us who have a job, as it reminds us, whether we are employed part-time at McDonalds or as the CEO of a large corporation, that our posts are going to be read and judged by others, whether we like it or not.
