It's kind of like an extra stress for workers to deal with. Many will hold back thier true feelings and not say stuff that needs said because they may fear the sack.

Should employers be allowed to add this extra pressure regarding their employees personal behaviour traits upon its work force that already has enough human face to face interaction to judge.

Surely it depends on what exactly has been posted?

I have to self isolate again cause tom has tested positive(Tom's my new trainee) so I'm off until next tuesday.

I went into the engineer works group chat that our work set up and told them all straight that I'm not contagious and I wished them all a happy new year and to stay strong tomorrow as they have to work.

On new years eve as well..can you imagine!!

I may be toast, cause I'm thinking of claiming for endangering my life.

It depends what's been said. Anything involving bullying or mocking other staff, or any type of harassment, then obviously yes.

user104658 · 30-12-2020, 08:14 PM

If it's complaining about the company or how it's run/things you disagree with/decisions that have been made then no.

This is where I'm coming from as well..so maybe we should include "used against you in future decisions"

Imagine always being the moaner in group chat and theres a redundancy coming up.

People get hired on personality and fired for it.
Do your job and go home, leave work at work.

Don’t commit anything negative to a post on WhatsApp about your boss or colleagues...someone will always squeal/share

If you have an opinion, voice it one on one then it’s your word against theirs

But it's a chat set up by the employers, I wake up and see myself as the last comment all the time.

It's a stress I dont need.

..nor should I have it forced upon me.

You can exit the group? The thought of being in a WhatsApp group with my work colleagues gives me the shivers, bad enough they can get me via email, on my phone...no

bots · 30-12-2020, 11:05 PM

whatsapp is not the environment to share your thoughts on work after a night on the sauce, that's a certainty. You should consider the chat a formal method of communication, that is there on the record for future reference. Only say what you would be happy to say in a formal work setting. The rest is up to you

Well yes staying professional to a degree is obviously a must. "I totally disagree with Bob's decision to _______, it's just never going to work" = fine. "Why has Bob gone ahead with this sh** what a daft fat ****ing turd!" = Prolly not.

Post as little as possible parm

At my last job, we all had to sign a contract agreeing never to slag the company/management/colleagues/customers off on social media.
Not a group chat but one of my colleagues called our manager “a fat prick” on Facebook and it got back to him and she was sacked.
