Comments on: Facebook unfriending as workplace “retaliation”? https://www.overlawyered.com/2010/11/facebook-unfriending-as-workplace-retaliation/ Chronicling the high cost of our legal system Mon, 22 Nov 2010 07:13:39 +0000 hourly 1 By: Lisa https://www.overlawyered.com/2010/11/facebook-unfriending-as-workplace-retaliation/comment-page-1/#comment-108500 Mon, 22 Nov 2010 07:13:39 +0000 http://overlawyered.com/?p=20219#comment-108500 I’m guessing the retaliation charge was added to increase the employee’s chances of winning the case, not because they were genuinely offended. How psychotic would you have to be to presume that you should still be considered friends with someone even after you try to charge them for discrimination?

Just finished it a few weeks ago … and I did find the section on “retalization” vague enough to be worrisome.

Heck, I guess this would mean if one is going to invite some subordinates from work to one’s wedding, then you invite all or none. Ditto off grounds baby showers and private christmas parties.

sheesh
