When are people going to learn? I’ve not hired a few due to their social media posts.3 days after hire, Schembechler resigns from U-M
Three days after he was hired at Michigan, Glenn "Shemy" Schembechler, son of longtime Wolverines coach Bo Schembechler, resigned following social media activity that has "caused concern and pain," according to a statement from the school.
etc. 
Liking a post is seen as agreeing w/what was posted. Some "professionals" are reckless with their reputation by following or agreeing with accounts that align with a hateful agenda. The old saying "you are the company you keep". Before following an account, I always check out the profile and scroll thru several postings before I follow. I follow mainly sports but if you're a "fan" that dogs our program or goes after players, I'm not interested. If you like posting political stuff (either side), I'm not interested.
It's also a lesson not to "like" anything posted as a joke on twitter, no matter how obvious it is. You can't possibly know whose sensibilities will be offended 10 years from now.
Bull. If I liked a post that disparaged a judge and later appeared before that judge, I would’ve done my client a huge disservice. You may not be in a profession where your public persona and reputation can affect your livelihood and that of others, but many of us are. And that is why I keep a pretty close eye on my employees social media postings.
Bull...you're not responsible for your client...you're responsible for you...your client is responsible for your client...that's wrong w/ the world today...people don't always hold themselves responsible...RMO III
Tell that to the Bar and see how far you get. If my actions indirectly harm my client, I AM responsible.
One would think that in this day and age, this concept no longer needs to be explained, but here we are.
LOL...why the hell not?...wtf does a guy's name have to do w/ his character???...RMO III
This is the extremely subjective phrase in the article that I have a problem with and which also makes it clear the whole idea is to suppress any critical thinking or individuality by social media participants :
I would guess that is more typical employer (lawyer) speak when they fire someone. For many reasons, some legal, you don't want to disparage anyone's reputation to the point that they have difficulty finding another position elsewhere. That is why potential employers most always ask the question "Would you hire this person again?" Discloses nothing....yet lets the hiring employer know a good bit whichever way it is answered.
Not looking at it so much from a legal stand point but "caused concern and pain" is broad and unavoidable to someone if you speak at all is my point!
It is very broad and vague....more than likely intentionally so. Most people don't look at things from a legal standpoint, but some have to.
I would interject here that only hateful agendas of a certain ideological stripe incite the sort of reaction that affects employment, etc. Others equally hateful and intolerant get a pass. In fact, they garner approbation.
No doubt. My whole point is social media, right or wrong, has ruined a lot of people.
Or their lack of sensibilities. Today's hip person is tomorrow's cancellation and it only takes 1 comment. Or in this case a perceived agreement with a comment. I tell my daughter that because she's clearly more liberal than I. She's a child of today's world. Eventually, the crowd will go so far over the edge they'll ridicule you.
I think most people can do without a social media presence. Social media fills a void in some people's lives.
The ubiquitous presence of journalists, both professional and aspiring, is what makes Twitter unique in its ability to damage careers.
I started Twitter in 2010 sitting at the Bippety Boppity Boutique in Disney waiting on my daughter's princess makeover so I could get the scoop on CFB scuttlebutt. I remember the year because we beat Bama that day. No matter how hard I tried to avoid it, someone with an agenda that ran counter to my sensibilities would eventually end up telling me to kill myself or something along those lines. I deleted the app and I'm much happier. I also stopped watching network news. Good for the old blood pressure.
