Most companies have social-media policies in place. When an employee speaks then that can be taken as representative of a companies viewpoint and twitter comments are effectively PR. Even if it is his personal opinion, comments which could affect public perception of a company (which is quite clearly the case here) should be carefully controlled and vetted. Unprofessional comments give a poor overall image of the company. |
What company do you work in??? That simply isn't true. You have departmental rules and unless something is an official statement or said by high management then it certainly is not representative of the companies view. I can't find his comments on his twitter feed so go figure just how "official" they are....
But yes, unprofessional comments certainly do give a poor overall image of the company.
