Holy Jeebus! Isn't that grounds for her to sue the employer?



Almost certainly not. Especially since she resigned instead of being fired.

Maybe if she's in California which I think has some weirdo law regarding social media, but nowhere else.


She did end up suing but I don't know what the outcome was.

OK, well, I don't know much about American law.

It really depends on the state. If the state is a "right to work" state, then the employer can fire you for anything (as long as it isn't against federal discrimination laws).

Welcome to America.


Somebody I knew got fired for posting a Facebook picture of herself drinking a beer at a "***** Bingo" event. She was an elementary school teacher, legal drinking age, private Facebook page. One of her co-workers was her Facebook friend ("friend") and reported her to the administration and they pressured her to resign because it was "conduct unbecoming a teacher and role model."


You knew her? That was a messed up situation.

Last I read in the paper, she wasn't faring well in the courts, but I don't know if that means the situation has been laid to rest or not.

Well in fairness, one can sue for anything. Her chances of success would not seem high.

There is no upside to a Facebook account. Why do you want to reconnect with assholes from high school you left behind decades ago?

Now you are talking like a curmudgeon, which is against your nature.
