Facebook fires employee for publicly scolding a colleague
I didn&#x27;t expect to agree with Facebook corporate but here I am. It&#x27;s one thing to privately disagree with a coworker about their action or lack thereof with respect to a contemporary event. But to drag it into a public setting is a severe violation of boundaries and borderline harassment. It&#x27;s a huge liability risk to FB -- to scold your colleagues in public for their desire to separate the political from the professional is workplace harassment and something that would probably get you fired anywhere.<p>With that said, I get the sense there is a large part of a story that is not being told here. Where was the manager? Has this employee had a history of maintaining appropriate professional boundaries with respect to communication? If Facebook doesn&#x27;t have the appropriate paper trail, they could easily be sued for retaliation.
