Twitter is the debbilll (misspelling on purpose), in my opinion, because there is no filter and no taking back a bad decision to tweet.

Don't tweet when mad and don't criticize colleagues, coworkers, associates in public, ever.

Well you saying it in general, not a big deal. You saying it to another employee, then it is a problem. A business is a place where one should be professional, calling other's names at work is hardly being professional.

The interesting and ironic thing about this the PGA pres. made this tweet two days after a PGA hosted Sports Diversity & Inclusion Symposium had ended. I however think a sincere apology was in order and not a firing.

3rd Annual Sports Diversity & Inclusion Symposium

How was the tweet racist, homophobic or misogynistic?

Please tell us what companies would fire an employee for using birth control? Who is advocating that it be a fireable offense?

Just more examples of lefties playing fast and loose with facts.

It has never been PC, but it has always been funny. Not sure what this has to do with calling others names in the workplace.

Public behavior contrary to your employer's policies tends to pi$$ them off, you'd think people would've learned by now.
