Memo Assignment
Primarily, as you know, we do have an Internet policy here at Acton, but it has no
mention of any social media platforms as it was written ages ago. So, my three
points will focus mainly on existing company policy which has always allowed limited
personal Internet use by employees. But, as I have mentioned, it does not point out
social media specifically. My advice is to stay away from social media on company
computers. After all, we are not being paid to check our Facebook profiles, read
News Feeds, or send tweets.
The last point I like to point out refers to badmouthing and negative references. You
may think that your social media sites are private and secure. Don’t ever criticize the
company, a colleague, or a customer on social media. This kind of backbiting gives
you a negative remark and it decreases your chance of getting hired in case you
apply for another job.
