Breaking news in Oregon today: a state employee (Oregon Department of Transportation/ODOT) has been suspended for comments she made on social media. So insensitive, I am completely reluctant to quote it, and not even sure that CS would tolerate it, so just google it--the story is readily available. Now, I am no stranger to the world, but I can't believe someone, in this still somewhat shaky economic climate, would score a job most people would give their right arm for and be so dang stupid. I just don't get it. Folks, EVERYTHING is being watched on computers, etc....EVERYTHING. You can't say your piece and be anonymous. Be very careful.
Let's just let it all hang out! We are who we are and our words are nothing but words. Sticks and stones will breake my bones will never hurt me. Brings arms and I will do what I need to stay alive.
This is just an example of somebody being held accountable for their words and they should be...if you wouldn't shout it on the street....don't say it on the net....

Just to add most companies actually ask their employees to sign a social media contract.

I read the article and what she said.
It's not any different then what certain people say on here (about 5 to 10) and nothing happens to them.
"Things" happen to the people who speak up against it.
