Episode notes

This episode explores how employees’ social media activity, especially off-duty posts, can create real legal and reputational challenges for employers. The discussion breaks down what employers can and can’t control under laws like the First Amendment and the National Labor Relations Act, and why these situations are often highly fact specific. It also highlights the importance of clear, well-crafted policies and thoughtful responses to online conduct to avoid legal risk.
