Next time you unfriend that unsavory individual Facebook friend, keep in mind it could be used against you…IN COURT! A landmark case in Australia now notes after a work dispute between an employer and employee that unfriending someone on Facebook can now be considered bullying.
According to Tech Time a judge ordered the employer to cease the bullying of his employee after his unfriending on social media led to depression, anxiety, and sleeping disorders?! Whoa…
Don’t get me wrong, I love my boss (hi Jay), but if he doesn’t want to see my nerdy posts on his news feed I take no offense to it! I may even grow a bit weary of his non stop posting of cat videos…actually I’m cool with it. Don’t tell him I said that, I don’t want to get bullied and unfriended! Oh no…I won’t sleep for weeks now.
Seriously though is this a big issue, or do you think this is just as ridiculous as I do?
