It’s my understanding that I need to have a social media policy, so after many months of hard work and countless meetings, I am ready to release our official company social media policy.
When participating in social media, all employees are to remember:
- The purpose of our business is to create profit for our customers. Our customers don’t profit from stupid. Don’t be stupid.
- Online conversations are just that, CONVERSATIONS. Conversations that lots of people can overhear. That can be a good thing. Be an adult, don’t be stupid.
- Talking without listening is a good way to become stupid. See above.
Failure to comply with this policy may lead to your boss being hit in the head with a hammer for a) hiring you and 2) not taking responsibility for fixing you.
Repeated violations may lead to you being hit in the head with the hammer as well.
(Note: I’m a company of one, and the one has a VERY thick skull. Your mileage may vary.)
