To tweet whilst on sick leave?

[CoolBee]

Hi, I'm bored recovering from surgery. Only thing I can do atm is tweet, and it helps keep me up to date with the field I work in. Will it be looked at negatively by my employees and colleagues? Will they think if you're well enough to tweet, you're well enough to work?

I think that that would be fine as long as they know that you're recovering from surgery

I would imagine that as long as you weren't tweeting about fun days out and energetic sporting accomplishments then it's probably fine. What sorts of things? It's sometimes a fine line but general thoughts etc and retweets shouldn't be a problem. If you have a sick note then it won't be a problem. I hope you're feeling better soon.

Of course it’s fine. Would you view it negatively if it was one of your employees? You are signed off not fit for work not not fit for life.

I hate all this you can’t go on social media if you are in sick leave etc. I’m sorry but when I’ve been really poorly, if I wasn’t sleeping, I would be reading my phone- news, social media (fb, Twitter, LinkedIn) etc, it’s how I pass the time (unless it’s a migraine!).

Hope you recover soon OP

I think it might look a bit frivolous to be tweeting away. Is there any other way of keeping up to date with the field you work in?

It sounds fine to me. Get well soon.

No

Yes if you are off following surgery. No if you were off with flu.

I think it might look a bit frivolous to be tweeting away she's on sick leave not working from home for the afternoon. She an just sit and wash trash TV in her week old pj's if she wants!

No if you were off with flu why can't you tweet if you have flu????
