Social media posting

[GreenEggsHamandChips]

Just a bit of a straw poll. Would your workplace be happy about an employee taking and posting a picture of their (clothed) bum on social media during work time. On work premises in uniform...

Well are you? Or are you worried about being fired?

Why, just why are you putting your arse on social media?

Not me. Ive just had this conversation with someone who to my mind should know better. Im a bit of an old fogey when it comes to social media and out the workplace atm so wondering if im out of touch

In a previous job, we weren't allowed to post anything at all taken on company premises, or in work uniform anywhere at all. Not that I would have, but it was policy. It depends on the industry I suppose?

But I've never once been tempted to post a photo of my arse in any context, so...

Presumably no face or identifying features or logos were in the photo if not yabu. If there was it was inappropriate.

Thats what i thought. Its a private account (now) but the people on it all work nearby iyswim... only takes pissing off one person

Its under their own name social media profile. Following on from a shot of a recognisable part of the workplace. The shirt colour is unmissable and in the picture. They are wearing it in other shots

Are they trying to make a point that their work place is an arse

They're in a new job they generally seem to want to succeed in. But the are missing friends from their old work.... not that theyve ever posted anything like this before....

Oh god this sounds worse and worse doesnt it

Seems like a weird, pointless thing to do. I'd imagine most businesses wouldn't appreciate an employee taking and posting any kind of personal (non-job-required) photo while on the job. The nature of the photo only makes it worse.

Thank you @Squigglesworth what you've just said makes a lot of sense.

They're in a new job they generally seem to want to succeed in

By posting pictures of their arse?

@NameChangeNugget

Good point well made.

Thank you everyone you've said what ive been thinking. I've said my bit now. If they want to continue like dip shit its there problem.
