Bank of America fires employee for this facebook post

20. You would need to know what is in the BOA Employee Handbook for starters.

There could be language in it that prohibits behavior that would show BOA in an unfavorable light to the public. What probably sunk her with BOA was that it is alleged that her FB page mentioned that she was proud about her employment with them as well as publicizing her extreme racist attitudes. That kind of stuff tends to get the public slamming a company (facebook, emails, phone calls, and so on). Had she left BOA out of her FB page she might have been able to keep her job because people might not have known where she works. Look at the daycare that employees the woman whose child went into the gorilla moat. They ended up taking their FB page down.

Most Banks tend to be pretty conservative and they get enough bad publicity on their own without crap like this. For sure, even had they not terminated her employment, they could not have allowed to her work with the public in any manner.

Social media is a double edged sword. What you put out there always has the potential to come back on you and smack you in the head. Some people just don't get that part of the process.

Edit to add: OK she is a personal banker, in Atlanta. There was no way she was going to survive her idiocy and keep her job. She brought bad publicity to the bank and it would have cost the bank business.
