A recent Facebook-related termination was considered 'unlawful' after employee derided her boss.
In the US, a simple request by an employee to her boss, ended in her using vulgar language against him on the popular social network.
After the boss refused her request, Dawnmarie Souza expressed her feelings against her boss, which resulted in co-workers joining in with unrestrained negativity.
Her actions resulted in her instant dismissal - however a federal agency has stated she made these comments in her own time and from her own computer - exercising her right to free speech.
They went further as to say that corporate Social Media policies that prohibit making negative remarks about their employer are in violation of labour laws that protect employees rights.
Facebook freaking you out? http://ping.fm/ifpZh
