These kinds of policies you really need to spell out and have documented. It's how you avoid court cases for wrongful termination. I don't know if Error's assertion about ArenaNet's social media policy is true, but it's absolutely beneficial to the company to make these things clear. Employment at will.

LightHawKnight 07/12/18 10:04:55 AM #406:	Error1355 posted... I didn't read the majority of the arguments in this thread, but here is my view on it. She clearly snapped back in a way that was not good for the public face of the company. I think it was poor of ArenaNet to not have their policy for social media use down as it seems both people fired were not on any shit list, wasn't given any written warnings or anything like that, was just flat out fired over it without any warning/directions from management to correct it. It looks like she was on some shit list, as she has prior behavior of this at the company and seemed to be fired from her previous job because of it. The guy on the other hand seemed to be clean, other than choosing this hill to die on. --- The Official Odin of the Shin Megami Tensei IV board.
