Employee finds out their place of work is closing via Facebook post: 'That’s the notice I got. No discussion in person beforehand. No phone call. No text'

Imagine finding out you were out of a job… via a social media post. 

The thing about social media is that we're often messing around and finding out. Who among us hasn't found out some information that they would have rather avoided? Maybe you see a photo of your ex with someone new. Maybe you see a picture of your friends from an event that you were clearly not invited to. Maybe someone tags you in a really unflattering photo. These are the dangers of browsing social media. Sometimes we end up getting implicated in something that we didn't want to. But it rarely has to do with our jobs. Rarely do we browse social media and find out something unsavory about work. That is, unless you're this person. 

There are ways to go about treating your employees that are basic and fundamental. Everyone wants to be treated with respect, and everyone deserves respect. There are certain rules you don't want to break. One of them is keeping an open and honest line of communication with your employees. If something is going on in the business, they have a right to know because it affects them as well. If there is turmoil under the hood, then it's only right to tell your employees. They might even be able to help in the situation. What you don't want to do is leave them in the dark until it's too late. Nobody likes to be blindsided, and it rarely has to happen that way.
