Most companies have policies restricting what employees can post on social media and even forbidding them to be interviewed.
I have always exempted myself from these guidelines, but do VERY much know where the line is. That's just common sense and self preservation.
Some past owners of Mnr went to almost comical lengths in shushing those on the payroll. I can recall one instance when management called every employee together and issued a dire warning about "scurrilous whispers in the hallways" concerning an impending bankruptcy. The lives of our children were threatened should we spread or even pause to listen to such rubbish.
When I got back to my office, the very member of upper management who had admonished the payroll came on the noon news in a taped segment bemoaning the sad need to go belly up.
I somehow doubt a career can be helped much on social media, but the potential to tank one surely exists.
