Too social on social media - too vulnerable !

Whether you are blabbering to press or a TV camera or typing into Facebook,  it can land you in trouble. Some examples...

HP publicly announced its intent to sell off its $ 41 Billion PC business! What for? The hundreds of salespersons trying to sell HP PCs will find themselves swimming against the current due to that one twitter message. Did HP really want this? 
 
When the CEOs and VPs tweet, they are bound to let something slip no matter how careful they are. If something happens they will lose their jobs and board seats. They have nothing to gain and everything to lose.

 
It was a sight watching Goldman Sachs executives defend themselves in front of a Senate subcommittee over Goldman’s hedge against the coming mortgage collapse. The biggest problem was the way their own emails documented how they bet against their own customers.


Employment checks now include social media activity. So don’t say you’re looking for a job on LinkedIn when you’re already employed!
