Be aware that there are many things your employer cannot make you do regarding your social media activities like Facebook. If your employer does so they are violating the National Labor Relations Act. If they do this you need to complain to the National Labor Relations Board. The have an online complaint form that you can fill out.
If you’re an employer or a boss you should take heed to this and make sure you correct any of your employment policies.
An employer cannot prohibit you from discussing (on your own time not when you’re supposed to be working) terms and conditions of your employment with others, criticizing your employer’s labor policies, discussing your wages, criticizing your employer’s treatment of employees, or criticizing or discussing safety of the workplace. Nor can your employer make you provide them access to your social media, make you “friend” them or make you comply with policies that are vague and tend to “chill” your speech on the about protected subjects .
You are not protected for just griping, complaining, ranting or making maliciously false statements. (You might guess there is a fine line between these activities and the others).
Don’t mistake this for them finding out through other means what you’re posting on your social media and because of this just dislike you and decide not to hire or fire you.
