Some of that is biology. Males under 24~25, females under 22~23 haven't finished their physical development yet, and the last stage is in the brain. It's known as the Prefrontal Cortex, part of what it controls is the ability to think about consequences, cause and effect. If I do/say this, what could possibly come of it (good, bad or ugly).



Part of it is social/environmental... Drink enough alcohol before that fully develops, and it's stunted forever (all the older people I know who have foot-in-mouth disease readily admit to lots of drinking and drugs from teen years trough their early 20's).



Some of it is a sense of anonymity with posting online.




I'm in the camp of "Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequence" ~ say something stupid in a public forum, suffer the consequences that may arise from it. I chuckled when I saw this "news" yesterday. A person being the cause of their own misery is humorous.

Yeah, they probably also think Buzz Aldrin was that character from Toy Story.

Social Media is a big thing in 2018 Corporate America. I have to take 3 ethics training classes a year about what I can and can't do on social media. The reason we have it is for exactly what you say you can't understand, people complain and do associate employees statements with employers values/beliefs. Our society is made up of largely loud whiny complainers who get triggered over trivial nonsense (and this cuts across political persuasions, snowflakes wear both colors).

Further, my current employer has a BYOD policy as it pertains to phones. But if you choose to use your personal device, you have to install an app that provides them remote admin rights to the entire device. The same policy is applied if I add their name to my Facebook profile.

A previous employer had a policy where if you had social media accounts, you had to follow their style guide on them; appropriate/professional profile pictures, posts had to be reviewed by them before you could post etc.

Obviously I bought a second phone because my employer will never have admin rights to my phone. And I left that previous employer within weeks of that announcement (for a multitude of reasons, but that policy was on the pile of why).
Kind of makes starting a private business sound pretty tempting, huh? Except for the immense amount of work involved not to fail...but that does seem like it'd be a major appeal.

The "previous employer" was a private, small business of 30 employees.

Not that I disagree with your overall point.

She should be fired -- for Stupidity. To post **** for all the world to see is the very definition of Stoopid.

She wasn't even there long enough to put it on her Rezumay. Too bad, Naomi.

People who aren't smart enough to know when to create a profile that is NOT tied to their name on Twitter, so they CAN complain about whatever bothers them are just not very bright people.
