[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 999677, member: 22880"] That is what the document looked to say. FedEx is now taking a "hard line" against talk in social media which "damages" FedEx (their opinion of what constitutes "damage"). If you PUBLICALLY identify yourself as an Express employee - not just say "I work for Express", but rather "I work for Express, my name is Joseph R. Blow and my employee number is 888888"; then Joe Blow is going to be in for a sitdown talk and subject to discipline up to and including termination. So the question is begged, "How in the hell can Express discipline employees for what they post in social media, IF Express isn't supposedly monitoring all social media?" The obvious answer is that Express does monitor ALL social media and records what they believe to be relevant. Anything you "say" can and will be used against you by your employer - should you identify yourself in the process of doing it. Due to the nature of social media, one who posts within social media is basically on a "soap box to the world". Those in power don't like this one bit (remember the mushroom analogy...). So the gloves are being taken off and all those who are presumptuous enough to "bad mouth Express" (I wasn't going to say "Bad mouth Fred" - the imagery involved there was just too damn unpleasant), are going to pay the price. It all falls under libel law, and Express is certainly within its rights to defend "its good name" (legal term), from detractors who wish to "diminish its well earned reputation" (another legal term). In PRIVATE correspondence, you can say whatever you want without fear of reprisal (even if the correspondence is "leaked"). It is when one gets up on that soapbox and starts saying things, that libel law comes into play, and Express has decided to no longer play as if nothing is happening "out there", but now they are going to start going after those who publically ID themselves.
