FB Online Identity - Pt. 2

Why was the employee terminated in this case and do employers have the authority to limit your online activity? As a social media expert, what would you advise your company to do in order to prevent these types of issue?

The employee was terminated because she spoke openly about her work in what was viewed by her employer as a negative comment. As a media expert, I would talk to my employees about the company's reputation and that as employees of the company, we should maintain a positive image and morale. Depending upon the work of the company, I would maybe draw up some kind of clause that would prevent my employees from publishing thoughts about their career.
