And when/where/to who.

Edit: it states in the article what she said, which is that Israel should not exist.

It also says when (while she was not at work).

My opinion is that really shouldn't matter what you've done, if you weren't on the clock, your employer has nothing to say about it.

I can see exceptions when you are misrepresenting yourself as acting in an official capacity or if you are clearly "the public face" of the company (like an on-air personality or public spokesperson). On the face of it, none of that applies here.

Most professionals are expected to uphold the standards of their profession, whether on the clock or not, and that typically includes not bringing the profession into disrepute. That is why doctors, nurses, etc., who spread misinformation about COVID-19 vaccination were disciplined.

Fair enough. As I said, I can see room for exceptions, but the more control your employer has over your free time, the less free that time is. I'm not interested in going back to the days when a person could be fired for driving the wrong make of car.

Imagine someone spends their weekends harassing gay people then during the week they work at a gay bar

Do you think the clientele would want to be served by them?

Who you are outside of work directly impacts the business

I think it's quite clear that, in that case, the server is the face of that business. What happens if instead, the person is working in the back room keeping the books?

So if I run around shouting slurs in my own time, should I be doxxed and reported to my employer?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Absolutely not. What business is it of mine who you work for?
