Title Who really gets fired over social media posts? We studied hundreds of cases to find out Country/Territory Australia Date 16/06/22 Description What you say and do on social media can affect your employment; it can prevent you from getting hired, stall career progression and may even get you fired. Is this fair – or an invasion of privacy?
Our recent research involved a study of 312 news articles about people who had been fired because of a social media post.
These included stories about posts people had made themselves, such as a teacher who was fired after they came out as bisexual on Instagram, or a retail employee let go over a racist post on Facebook.
It also included stories about posts made by others, such as videos of police engaging in racial profiling (which led to their dismissal).URL https://theconversation.com/who-really-gets-fired-over-social-media-posts-we-studied-hundreds-of-cases-to-find-out-182424 Persons Brady Robards
