Apple was right to fire an employee of one of its UK stores for saying rude things about the company on his Facebook wall, an employment tribunal in Bury St Edmunds ruled.*

The tribunal judge upheld Apple's dismissal of the man for gross misconduct in a case which sets another precedent for social network users who like to bitch about work online.The Apple Store worker had made derogatory comments about Apple's brand and products on his Facebook wall. Although his posts were not public, one of his unfriendlier "friends" – also a colleague in the store – printed the comments out and showed them to their boss, who fired the man for misconduct.....

TBF, if they're classing it as gross misconduct and the tribunal upheld it, I suspect he was being more than 'a bit rude'. More likely he had posted something that was slanderous (or libelous, I can never remember which it is on the internet) and/or likely to get the company he works for in legal trouble. I personally wouldn't class 'Jeff I work with is so fat lolz' as being gross misconduct, for example.

(note: I don't actually work with anyone named Jeff)
