Facebook Can Get You Fired...

A 2009 survey conducted by The American Management Association and The ePolicy Institute, twenty-seven percent (27%) of companies have policies that directly address what their employees can post on their personal social networking page.  like to think that what they do on their own time is their own business, but that's not always the case.  According to the survey, two percent of companies have discharged employees based on the content of their social networking pages.  Businesses that boast having a social media/networking policy should be certain to apprise employees of the policy, its content and consequences.  That way they can't cry 'foul play!'
