FB issue help

[Deleted User][Deleted User] member
in June 2013 Moms
I have a coworker who posted a long work-related rant on FB. The overall message was supposed to be positive and reflective on why she is a nurse, but a lot of it was negative venting. I'm on the management team in my unit and don't want to tattle on her to my nurse manager. I also don't want other staff to rat her out. We have had lots of staff in my health system that were fired because of FB and I don't want that to happen to her. I feel a moral obligation to tell her that the comments could get her in trouble and that it's in her best interest to remove the post. How should I go about it- Send a FB message? Text? Wait until I see her in person on Friday? Also, can you help with how I should word it?

    I definitely care about her and don't want to lose her from our unit. I'm going to wait till a little later in the day before I contact her. Part of her post was venting about happenings on night shift so I want to let her sleep. I decided that I will text her about it. My manager has said to us before that she prefers for us to talk to someone about a social media issue rather than reporting it.

    If she doesn't report to you, and you're colleagues, I'd call her.  Don't put anything in writing that could implicate you if the management team fires people for stuff like this.

    I'd let her know that you understand the overall sentiment but you've seen people get fired for anything that could be misconstrued as negative commentary about your workplace on social media, and you're concerned for her.  Then suggest that she delete the post.

    Text sent. Her response "Sigh. Ok thanks." I guess the message was received. Hopefully she will delete it.

    I would message her immediately and tell her to take it down. You don't want other people seeing it and the possibility of having her fired.

    Unfriend anyone that you are friends with that you work with. Being on the management team, the HR implications are off the hook. If in the future, she is passed up for a promotion she can go back to this exchange and say it is because of this. I know it sounds harsh to just Un friend people, but it is not worth the hassle.
