What if…
I’m just saying, what if you could attend an event — a free event, with breakfast — and you get to hear me speak for an hour and fifteen about social media in the workplace and other hot workplace issues, and then grill me during a Q&A?
That would suck, right? Because, apart from the breakfast, who wants to hear me speak for an hour and fifteen minutes?
Wouldn’t it be great if two employment lawyers, one representing employees, another representing management, would discuss the employment-law implications of social media in the workplace on a Twitter chat? Then some other lawyers could chime in. And we’d have a moderator.
What’s the word I’m looking for? Dorky? A little. But no dorkier than what the rest of you dorks discuss on Twitter.
Well, anyway, we did all this yesterday. If you missed it, keep one eye open tonight; I’m coming for you in your sleep here it is!.
My mind…blown!
Yesterday, the local internet feeds were flooding us with news that Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy allegedly left a 20-cent tip at a local restaurant at which he and some friends had lunch on Monday. The “smoking gun” was a copy of what is purported to be McCoy’s lunch receipt from the restaurant.
I read “Eagles Player LeSean McCoy Just Left a 20-Cent Tip at PYT” on PhillyMag.com, and “LeSean McCoy tips 20 cents at PYT. The restaurant, PYT, even posted about it on its own Facebook page, complete with a copy of the supposed McCoy receipt.
Oh, come on! What fun is that?

On the clock or off, when employees do dumb stuff on Facebook, it could cost them their jobs. And, apparently, their discrimination claims against their former employer too.
Yep, another employee screwed up online. Go figure.

Call it a cheap way to increase my SEO — Kim Kardashian Justin Bieber love child — but I’m ending the week the way I started it: with another social media post.
Come you moths to my social media flame.
Ha Ha! Made you listen to The Bangles! Good luck getting that song out of your head. Maybe this will help. #Sike
