...is a sensible and appropriate place to air their grievances about work?
I teach, and we've had a difficult staff meeting today, where we were told that there will be a number of redundancies this academic year. Those whose jobs are involved had already been told, but it was quite a shock for the rest of us. It's shit, and I have a huge amount of sympathy for those involved.
BUT... one of my colleagues has made a huge deal of it on Facebook this evening, and has a big long list of comments on her status update (including one from an ex-colleague referring to the senior management team as "cunts" and "fuckers") Why oh why would anyone thing that this is a good idea? The colleague in question is FB "friends" with one of our lunchtime supervisors who a) has a love of gossip (the more malicious the better) and b) has a child in the sixth form, so these redundancies are likely to be common knowledge amongst the students by morning.
Is it just me? Or is this a really silly thing to do?
