Company to Bike Rider: You're Fired!

[donquixote99]

Juli Briskman has now been fired for her spontanious speech expression that became a viral photograph. After she included the photo on her Facebook page, the company took immediate action, citing the following policy from the employee handbook:

"Covered Social Media Activity that contains discriminatory, obscene malicious or threatening content, is knowingly false, create [sic] a hostile work environment, or similar inappropriate or unlawful conduct will not be tolerated and will be subject to discipline up to an [sic] including termination of employment."

Two points: should the post have been 'covered social media activity,' considering that neither the photo nor her facebook page linked her to her employeer, AKIMA LLC?

And second, why wasn't another executive fired a few months ago for saying to another employee, on an account that did identify him with the company, "You're a (expletive) Libtard a------"?

Conservative male not fired, liberal female fired. Got it.
