Social Media Etiquette: Don’t post negative comments about the workplace. What you say on your personal social media sites can have a profound impact on your co-workers. If you’re having a tough time at work, don’t let off steam by blasting a colleague or ranting about the practice online. Your negative comments are the wrong way to address the problem, and they could result in disciplinary measures being taken against you. It’s better to work through the proper channels. Talk to your immediate supervisor or the doctor about how to best resolve the situation.
