100% agreed. Right now, people are essentially 24/7 employees since something they say at home can destroy their entire career. There's no seperation between work life and social life, which is a nightmare for pretty much everyone who isn't a business owner.
I'm not disagreeing with you regarding the encroachment of work into personal life, but going onto a popular social media platform with the full intention of being heard by as many people as possible to say you are going to stab people and watch them bleed out seems like it is an entirely different matter. In this case, she moved from the privacy of her home to the eyes and ears of a public space.
Especially if she would be working in a professional services firm where their reputation is directly related to their employees. Acting like a stupid bitch for the world to see is a no no
I'm not going to get too candid when it comes to personal details, but the program I took that educated me for my job repeatedly told me to be very careful about what we post on social media. We were all told to think carefully about what we are posting and to be professional and polite. My employers said the same thing before I was hired. I was even asked indirectly about my social media presence during the interview. They were very happy to hear that I do not even have a Facebook account.
My point is that I am certain the woman who "jokingly" threatened to stab people and watch them bleed out was told very clearly and repeatedly to be careful about what she does on social media. It is hard to believe there are companies out there who do not make some kind of mention about behavior on social media sites.

This Harvard Grad jokingly said she will stab anybody who says "all lives matter", and then saying showing a papercut to them as an analogy
Deloitte completely terminated her for a simple video that was made as a joke. This is ridiculous and they dun goofed.
This is the original video. You can tell she was making an analogy and wasnt serious
Sure, but they are being used in many cases by mobs looking for "justice". You say something people don't like, you get doxxed, you get fired. It's a pretty shitty arrangement for a liberal society.
One easy fix is to recompartmentalize life. What people do on their own time is theirs.
I wouldn't like it if the hypothetical white guy got fired either.
There's a dangerous trend happening where the separation between work life and home life is disappearing.
A few decades ago, when you left work, you were done with it for the day.
Well the solution is to strengthen labor rights so companies can't just fire employees on a whim. But the right in this country has been agitating for right to work which allows employers to do this. You can't give them the right to fire people on a whim but then say "please don't" and expect them to listen.Sure, but they are being used in many cases by mobs looking for "justice".

If its in her contract then yeah she can't blame anyone but herself.I know the big 4 accounting firms have you sign contracts holding you responsible for what you post on your social media if it can be connected to your employment with the company. She's a Harvard grad, she knew what she signed up for, and decided social media likes were more important than her new job.

Also I love your avatar, what's the source? Very addicting to watch.
Queen B is one of the most delusional posters on this page. Take what she/he says with a grain of salt cause he/she thinks with extreme bias.It still perplexes me how fucking dumb people still are with the internet. No where in her first video did I get any hint of sarcasm, satire, or even humor. There are literally hundreds of stories of people losing their jobs because of crap the publically posted online, and yet this loon thought she'd just skate on by saying she would stab someone on app that literally does nothing but create viral videos.
Pretty much this. I'm a contractor. If I walk into one of my customers sites and act a fool on a Saturday, then show up on a Monday for a maintenance, that doesn't just look bad on me.Not really. You were always a representative of your employer off the clock. If you did something stupid off hours, and got caught, you'd get fired all the same.
What's changed is the level of exposure, and likely the intelligence of people in general. Don't be posting death threats on the web for the world to see, and you won't get fired. It's a very simple rule to abide by, but people are just too stupid today, and are more concerned with attention seeking on Twitter, TikTok, Youtube, etc, etc.
Unfortunately, social media has caused a rift between reality and fantasy, where people just lose themselves online, thinking there are no consequences for what you say and do online, in the real world. Just take this dumb bitch for example. She's absolutely shocked that threatening to stab people got her in trouble. Like, what world does she live in?
