Do you think it is right to complain about your company in Facebook?

Im not for it, as it is very unprofessional to complain about your company to Facebook! If you wish to complain about the policies of your company, tell it to the HR or somebody who can adjust ro can do something about your complain.

I think it is not right to complain in facebook.Because it will bring nothing good. It is not wisely to disclose everything in public. If the company dismiss the employee on seeing the complain in facebook then it is not also a right decision.

Herro scheng1 I have one basic philosophy. If I want something kept private I don't put it on any social networking site. Be it facebook, twitter or any other site like APSense. The government and companies have the right to access our social networking sites. The government if they believe that laws, particularly terrorism. The other issue is are u using company computer to post? Prosperous mylotting

i would not do this.. even if i think that there can be some "correctness" about it. afterall, complaining and saying something about something can still be considered as an opinion, and thus, it is still not a sin... but of course, i would assume that like me, you have your officemates as friends in facebook, plus everyone can really read about it... it may have resulted to two things... people understanding you and other side which will completely not understand you! There is a risk in doing so.. i guess i would rather not.. in life, work, or not do not burn bridges....

Hi. scheng1. Well I tell you, if I have a complaint to make, you best believe that it won't be on Facebook. This would be for any complaint that I have in my personal life about anything. Facebook is considered to be a public site and many people can view what you post no matter how securely that you may set your security and account features. If I am going to complain about the company that I have worked for, I will do so privately without me being on Facebook.

No, thats nor right. If you work for a company, you should thank that company and boss for giving you a job to do, and a payment. That means you have to be loyal, and not to talk bad about your company, boos, mates, or anyone from the company. You may comment it to your family or friends, but not to post in on facebook. Facebook is a public site and anyone could read it. That's not a show of loyalty to talk negatively about the company you work for in public.

I think that what you say about your company should be treated just like what you would say about a person--privately. If you want to gripe about your work, do it through private emails or in person but doing it publicly is defaming them. The exception to this would be if they were doing something against the law or something that would harm the public. People seem to think social media is private but it's not--everyone sees it, that's because it's on the WORLD WIDE web!

scheng thats partof all that I dislike in Facebook nobody has any scruples any more. I would notever air anything in facebook that I did not want the whole world to know. No noone should complain about their employers in facebook as thats just not ethical. if you have a grievance take it to your own boss not air it in F acebook at all. I think a lot of companies do not like that and I feel its just not right too.

i think its our rights...but it is not wise to tell about our company to facebook.. because tell our company problems make many people know whats happen in your office.. its not good.. can you take position as your boss if your worker tell about your company and your method and make many people know about the secret of your company???

Rules being imposed by companies on their employees are getting worser!LOL if i got anything against the company then i would talk about it with my lead than to sulk in a social site which sells its members personal information to make money!Anyways if you had signed the papers accepting their rules whilst joining then you got no option left than to sulk in a room haha about the discomforts.great day.

hello scheng1! i have always believe in the saying that "when you're working for an institution from which you get most of your livelihood, never say anything bad against it while you're still working for it. If you want to complain and badmouth it, then better resign and get out of the institution and lambast and rant about it or its officials as much as you want." Owners and management of companies had a hard time putting up their companies. If someone in the management makes the mistake like changing work schedule without informing the employees, the company's image should not be tainted because of a one man's mistake. Therefore,i think they have all the right to implement the policy of firing their employees who complain publicly about their company. Besides, i think before starting work, such employees were made to sign contracts which states most probably the ground for firing an employee, which might include ranting and complaining about the company or its policy publicly.

I have a different opinion on this. For me, if one has a page in any social networking site, that page belongs to that person alone. It is his right to express his feelings and opinions on his own page. If a third party questions him on his postings, it is like being questioned of his activities in his own house. Facebook has privacy settings where the user can set who can view the profile. If one of the friends connected are spies of the companies, these people do not deserve to live as they cause harm to others, they are simply insecure people who want to climb the ladder by stepping on to their colleagues. Facebook is a personal matter and companies do not have the right to use it against anybody. If the companies have good policies and procedures, no employee would complain about them. If I have a complain against my company I am working now, I wouldn't just post it in Facebook, I would blog it for all the world to see and if they kick me out, I will bring the matter to the court on the grounds of illegal dismissal as I don't believe that airing grievances in Facebook is prohibited in any country's labor code. It is better that grievances are aired in public so people get warned how these companies treat their employees.

Hello my friend like other mylotters said i agreed also. Every company have own rules and regulations, policies about such cases. As you said they strict so no need to put in public for what reasons only your company discretion. The only I seen your company did not given any warning for at least first offense... see you around

Devil's Advocate, I'm playing here ... If the company has a policy against it (and the employees know of the policy), then they are dividing themselves against the company. "A House Divided Cannot Stand." (if it's not in the Bible, at least Abraham Lincoln said it) So if the company kept those employees inside its house, the company would fall Kicking them out is the only way. If they aired those grievances, they would have to use the Sub-Law of the Gentleman---the Law of the Gentleman being 'Gentlemen don't tell,' the Sub-Law would be, 'if Gentlemen DO tell, they never name-names.'

I like what the first person said, and I agree. If you don't want something to come back and bite you in the butt later on, DONT' post it online for all eyes to see. I would complain about my job on facebook BUT that's because I know that my company doesn't check it, and the co-workers I have added will most definitely agree with me on it. I don't actually update my status that much, and I don't update it to every single thing I'm feeling at that moment, like a lot of people do. So this isn't generally a problem for me.

i think its our rights...but it is not wise to tell about our company to facebook.. because tell our company problems make many people know whats happen in your office.. its not good.. can you take position as your boss if your worker tell about your company and your method and make many people know about the secret of your company???

In your case, given what you have written, it really doesn't matter if it is right or not since the company has already made it clear of the consequences. The bigger question is do you still want your job or not? Where in SG do you work that has such rules that allows sending of spies? I am from SG too, in case I am looking for a job, I want to make sure it is not your company. Airing of grievances can be made to MOM, if you need it to be official... or just rant about it during lunch hour (outside the company). Cheers, and think about your job. Do you want it? Do you need it? If yes, abide by the policy.
