Too little too late. It should never have happened in the first place. Posting it on multiple sites looking for advice subsequently just made it even worse.0 -
Regularly. On a daily basis. Yes, despite best efforts to tell people not to post anything about work or work colleagues; never to friend people at work; and to keep social media private, people are this stupid all the time. This kind of stupidity doesn't discriminate either - it goes from the shop floor to the boardroom: all ages, income brackets, ethnicities, genders or none!
The other thing that people regularly forget is that if you post to social media, there's no such thing as a private life. The things you say and do outside work may be just as likely to get you sacked, and posting about it is a really fast way to bring it to the attention of your employer.
I have to agree, I have had to warm my employees repeatidly not to post anything work related on social media . Recently I have had to add do not download any personal messaging service, email or face book on their works mobiles as well .......unless they want me to see everything they post afer they have left the company ....or in case they have been suspendedVuja De - the feeling you'll be here later0 -

i saw plenty of good advice posted.
You just didnt like it as nobody seemed to agree with you.0 -
No it isn't. The thread accurately advises you that your behaviour is threatening, that bullying and threatening behaviour is not acceptable in the workplace, and that as a result of your behaviour there is a good possibility that you may be sacked. These are facts. They are facts that you don't like, but that doesn't make them incorrect. You do realise, also, that nothing ever disappears from the internet - especially when it had been quoted multiple times, so deleting your posts now is hardly effective. Just as deleting comments from Facebook after you've been caught doesn't change the fact that they've been made.the_chairman wrote: »I asked for advice not criticism
The point of this is that bullying, threats and intimidation are never acceptable, and it doesn't matter how you deliver them. But it seems you are much better at dishing it out than taking it - nobody here had done anything other than reflect your own behaviour back to you and point out how bad it is, and that's enough for you to run. It's a shame you haven't learned anything from this.0 -

It's not obvious at all, because any reasonable person would interpret what you wrote as a threat, and I expect you to be sacked as a result however hard you try to back track now. And hopefully prospective future employers will find threads like this one before offering you a job.
And yes, this is criticism of you, if you don't like it, tough.0 -
When threats are made, and then reinforced by stating that "They aren't threats, they are promises" there doesn't seem to be much room to misinterpret what was meant.0

The advice is clear - you made a massive mistake, you need to own the consequences of that, be apologetic and try and keep hold of your job.
Then further advice is clear - stop being so confrontational and aggressive towards other people and such matters won't come your way in the future.
Or were you hoping for a response more along the lines of "yeah, you go mate, don't put up with this, go in there and break some faces, smash up the joint and show them you're not to be messed with" because if so, then you're beyond help.(Although I could be wrong, I often am.)0 -
I haven't read the whole post, but I've read the OP, and my opinion of the poster is made even lower by the fact that they have deleted their original post so that none of the collected wisdom here is easily accessible by anyone else with a similar problem.
