Fired for accidentally live-streaming nude on the company’s Instagram page (oops!), now she’s suing for her job back

Yep.

That’s me after reading yesterday’s Google Alerts; the ones I set up to capture employees doing dumb stuff on social media.

Hey, before I get to today’s social media booty (pun, toooooootally intended), I want to remind you about two free live seminars I’m presenting with my friends at Kistler Tiffany to fill your brains with everything ACA, ADA, and FMLA.

You choose: (1) Wednesday, May 10, 2017 from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM in Berwyn, PA; or (2) Thursday, May 11, 2017 from 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM EDT in Philadelphia, PA. Attendees will get free education, free food, and free SHRM/HRCI/CLE credit. And, we’ll get you pumped like ol’ Charlie up there.

To register for either day (or both), click here.

What could possibly go wrong?

So what happened next to the Tourism Director in Webster Parish, Louisiana?

Err, former Tourism Director in Webster Parish, Louisiana. Yes, according to the Daily Mail (here), she was placed on leave mid-January and fired in February.

But, according to Fox8 News (here), the former Tourism Director in Webster Parish, Louisiana is now suing to become the new Tourism Director in Webster Parish, Louisiana. Here is a copy of her lawsuit.

And, because I don’t have the foggiest idea how Louisiana law works — maybe there’s an Instagram loophole there somewhere…

I’ll stick with some employer takeaways.

Frankly, the only takeaway I can come up with is to co-opt this blog post as a cocktail party conversation starter. Have at it!

And, tell ’em there’s more good stuff — maybe not this good — at The Employer Handbook.
