The example they gave in this case involved a staffer who started the problem on the BUSINESS facebook page first before migrating to her personal page to carry on which I can see being a no no. The scary thing is though is this lawyer saying it also applies to things just posted strictly on one’s personal page. Not that I would be inclined to post offensive stuff anyways, but now I’m even more glad that I refused to sign up with facebook. If I ever do it will be with only minimal contact info just in case a long lost friend or somebody wanted to locate me. Anything else can and will be used against you.
At work, a woman whose husband had come out as gay was seeking advice on what to do. He wanted to have the cake both ways, stay married to her and live together with her and the kids but have sex on the side.
Most people said it was so wonderful that he could finally be himself, referred her to a support group for the straight spouses of gays, etc. She was clearly conflicted and upset.
I said treat it as you would any other request to commit adultery. If he said he wanted to sleep with another woman and you wouldn’t put up with it, talk to a divorce attorney now. If you’d tolerate him cheating on you, then it doesn’t matter with whom, but get STD testing and put limits on it.
She didn’t “turn me in”, but someone else reported me to HR as homophobic.
Saying that my answer would have been common sense meant nothing to them.
My only defense was that I gave her the same advice for a man cheating with a man as I would a man cheating with another woman - and would give the same advice if a man said his wife wanted to cheat on him.
My opinion of transgenders, Social Justice Warriors and so forth are FAR more inflammatory, and that prior incident almost cost me my job. If I were a man, I would have been fired.
