[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 999986, member: 22880"] It starts as follows: [I]The following provides employees with an understanding of FedEx guidelines about individual participation and personal comments in external internet social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkenIn, personal blogs and YouTube. These Guidelines apply to all external online situations where you identify yourself as a FedEx employee. These Guidelines are intended to protect Company and employee interests. The Guidelines are not intended to limit any employee rights, including the right to communicate about working conditionas and/or employment terms. As always, should you have any questions about FedEx policies, please feel free to ask your manager or Human Resources. [/I] Summary of key points: 1) [I]Personal account user names should not contain "FedEx" or other company trademarks. [/I]Well, we know one person who is already in trouble here... 2) [I]When you identify yourself as a FedEx employee while using social media, you should follow the same policies that FedEx employees are expected to follow every day, including the FedEx Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and your operating company's Acceptable Conduct and Computer/Internet Resources policies.[/I] I read this to state that even when you are "off the clock", once you identify yourself as a FedEx employee, you are held to the same standard (and presumably the same potential discipline for violation fo that standard) as if you were on company time or in uniform. 3) [I]E[/I]m[I]ployees can engage in limited use of company resources to engage in social media - as long as it doesn't interfere with work duties, etc. Any use of company resources is subject to monitoring and no expectation of privacy exists.[/I] Standard "boiler plate" statement regarding use of corporate resources. 4) [I]"If you are in a social media setting and you believe someone has made comments regarding FedEx that are illegal or violate Company policy, you can choose not to respond or you can contact socialmedia at Fedex dot com. [U]The Company has a staff of individuals who are authorized and trained to respond[/U]." [/I]Well, there you have it folks, there is no denying it anymore - your employer is actively looking at what you write and make public on your time. Here is my favorite.... 5) "[I]Do not disclose or misuse confidential proprietary or private information. Examples include any non-public informatoin about FedEx earnings, technology, [U][B]business plans[/B][/U], intellectual property, vendors or customers, social security numbers and personal health information." [/I]Gee... I wonder what they are worried about. Here's one for vantexan 6) "[I]This Guideline is not intended to restrict communications by employees about wages, hours, or other terms and conditions of their employment[/I]." So you can "talk about your day"... but you can't call Fred a ratfink in the process... Finally, the Big One... 7) [I]The Guidelines are meant to protect you by helping you comply with the FedEx Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and other applicable Company policies, violations of which can result in discipline up to and including termination. The Guidelines are also meant to protect FedEx, as deviation from the Guidelines can expose FedEx to legal liability, harm the FedEx brand, or damage trusted relationships with customers. FedEx reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to monitor online activity by employees using FedEx computer resources, including activities on social media websites.... FedEx may modify, suspend or withdraw the Guidelines at any time. [/I]So there you have it. Your employer is keeping an eye on you, and if you libel FedEx in anyway, you may be subject to discipline up to and including termination. I like how they put in the modify at anytime part - to cover their bases if they get their butt hauled into court.... [/QUOTE]
