All problems
start when one person’s freedom pushes against another person, denying him or
her rights given naturally to any born citizen of a country. At work, the
stress and tension makes thinking a bit less and acting a bit more, which can
cause legal trouble. Here are three simple ways you could avoid it, based on my
experience.
1.
Avoid
the Social Flame
I was once
working at a postal card creation service somewhere in 2009. A fellow employee,
who was often rowdy, was fired mysteriously and the bosses never did explain
what happened. In a formal statement, the bosses said that the employee was
fired because of insubordination by posting about flames in social media. While
many complained, a legal representative explained that going through the proper
channels of complaints and not broadcasting the complaint openly in the web can
stop the improper termination of contracts while having a say.
2.
Consider
Yourself a Publisher
I often do an
exercise where I think of myself as a celebrity. Aside from the vanity and ego,
I also understood that each of my actions will have a significant backlash
because of legalities. Today, social media, the internet and close-knit
communities at work are areas where you publish your work. Obscene work could
be considered propaganda in an office, so it is important to be careful about
what one says, or rather in this context, publishes.
3.
Responsibilities
As stated in
a contract, employees are bound by an amount of money, even if they are to stay
in a company for a very long term. They have responsibilities that bind them
with the contract, which they must fulfil or else they risk fighting off
litigations and paying for penalties in breaking their contracts.
