Default Should it be/or is it. Legal to be able to be sacked for works group chat stuff.

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?

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

We have a work group chat but it's literally just to pass work related information on between shifts so I dunno.

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.

...I guess that it’s just not a ‘place of trust or confidence’ because it’s too conflicting with work and employer loyalties as well...(...in some cases...)...and as has been said, it would depend on what was said and also what the job was...I know someone who lost their job but their job was in a position of public trust ...

...I doubt that anyone doesn’t let off steam at times with work related stuff but a group chat isn’t that secure place to do it, I feel...
