Can you be fired on social media? If so, can you sue the company for wrongful termination? - RIcky - 04-25-2014 12:46 AM
Company: Subway
I have proof of being fired over twitter. I went and asked a manager he said its true I was fired by an employee who is considered a manager but is not officially due to family relationship with owner.
Do I have a case or no?
Also, it isn't like defamation? They embarrassed me on twitter. I did nothing wrong, it was because an employee didn't like me and they fired me.
I'm sure Subway as a corporation doesn't support acts like that.

Wrongful termination depends on why you were fired not how. They could hire a sky writer if they wanted to. It's unprofessional but not illegal

Twitter is world wide and if you said anything bad about your employer on a public forum, they can sue you let alone fire you.
