GOLFERS JACK NICKLAUS AND ARNOLD PALMER.
ARNOLD PALMER. BACK TO YOU.
>> THANKS SO MUCH.
>>> GRADUATION SEASON IS UPON
US, AND HOPEFULLY YOU OUR YOUR
LOVED ONE HAS LANDED A JOB
ALREADY.
ALREADY.
ALREADY. >> THAT WOULD BE GREAT BUT
SOMETIMES THE HARDEST PART OF
HITTING THE GROUND RUNNING ON
YOUR FIRST JOB IS KNOWING
OFFICE POLITICS.
OFFICE POLITICS. >> HERE TO SHARE TRUE OR FALSE,
DOS AND DON'TS IS FOUNDER OF
TRIANGLE INVESTIGATION,
TRIANGLE INVESTIGATION, WELCOME.
WELCOME.
WELCOME. >> GOOD MORNING.
>> SUCH A TRICKY WORLD WE KIND
OF HAVE TO NAVIGATE.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. >> I THINK FOR THE YOUNG ONES
TO KNOW A LITTLE SOMETHING
GOING IN.
GOING IN.
GOING IN. AND MAYBE FOR ALL OFTUSE HAVE A
REFRESHER TOO.
REFRESHER TOO. >> SOUNDS GOOD.
WE WILL DO TRUE OR FALSE
QUESTIONS.
QUESTIONS. HERE ARE YOUR PADDLES.
>> NOBODY REALLY WARNS YOUR OR
YOU OR TELLS YOU, YOU WALK IN
AND THERE ARE LAND MINES.
>> HOPEFULLY FIGURE IT AS YOU
GO ALONG.
GO ALONG.
GO ALONG. SOMETIMES THAT GOES WELL,
SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T.
FIRST QUESTION, TRUE OR FALSE,
IT IS NEVER OKAY TO DATE
SOMEONE THAT YOU WORK WITH.
>> YOU SAY NEVER OKAY.
>> NEVER OKAY.
>> FALSE.
>> FALSE.
>> FALSE. >> THAT IS FALSE.
CORRECT.
CORRECT.
CORRECT. IT IS OKAY.
BUT YOUR EMPLOYER MIGHT
RECOMMEND YOU TELL HUMAN
RESOURCES OF THE RELATIONSHIP.
THAT IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT IN
SITUATIONS WHEN YOU HAVE A
SUPERVISOR DATING A SUBORDINATE
BECAUSE YOU WANT TO AVOID
ALLEGATIONS OF FAVORITISM OR
UNFAIR TREATMENT.
UNFAIR TREATMENT. SOME EMPLOYERS HAVE A POLICY
THAT REQUIRES AN EMPLOYEE TO
TELL THEM WHEN THEIR
RELATIONSHIP BOTH BEGINS AND
ENDS.
ENDS.
ENDS. THAT IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING TO
CONSIDER.
CONSIDER.
CONSIDER. YOU ARE GOING THROUGH MAYBE A
MESSY BREAK UP AND HAVING TO
TRUDGE TO HR AND TELL THEM
ABOUT IT AS WELL.
IT IS ALWAYS BEST TO CHECK WITH
YOUR HR TO FIND OUT WHAT THE
WORKPLACE DATING POLICY IS SO
YOU ARE INFORMED.
>> BE PROACTIVE.
>> USED TO HAVE THE POLICY NO
DATING ALLOWED, IS THAT MOSTLY
OUT THE WINDOW?
>> I THING A LOT OF EMPLOYERS
REALIZED IT IS NOT REALLY
REASONABLE AND PRACTICAL.
ASSUMING PEOPLE ARE GOING TO
MEET EACH OTHER AND DATE AT
WORK, THEY WANT TO PROTECT
THEMSELVES AS WELL AS
EMPLOYEES.
EMPLOYEES. QUESTION NUMBER TWO.
TRUE OR FALSE, THERE IS SUCH A
THING AS A LOVE CONTRACT IN
SOME WORKPLACES.
SOME WORKPLACES. >> A LOVE CONTRACT.
>> SEEMS SO FAR-FETCHED IT HAS
TO BE TRUE.
>> STHAT TRUE.
YOU ARE TWO FOR TWO.
THEY ARE AGREEMENTS THAT EXIST
IN WORK PLACES FOR TWO COHFL
WORKERS THAT ARE DATING EACH
OTHER.
OTHER.
OTHER. THE EMPLOYER GIVES THE
EMPLOYEES THE LOVE CONTRACT AND
ASKS THEM TO SIGN IT.
IT OUTLINES THE WORKPLACE
DATING POLICY.
DATING POLICY. THE EMPLOYEES ARE ACKNOWLEDGING
THEY ARE AWARE AND SAYING THEY
WILL FOLLOW IT.
THESE HAVE BECOME VERY POPULAR
IN THE LAST FEW YEARS WITH
ADVENT OF THE ME TOO MOVEMENT
AS EMPLOYERS SEEK TO PROTECT
THEMSELVES ON LAWSUITS AGAINST
SEXUAL HARASSM OR ABUSE OF
POWER IN THE WORK PLACE.
>> WHAT ELSE CAN WE LEARN ABOUT
OUR FIRST JOB AND KNOWING WHAT
WE SHOULD KNOW?
>> ABSOLUTESLY.
>> ABSOLUTESLY. >> TRUE OR FALSE, I CAN WRITE
ABOUT MY JOB ON SOCIAL MEDIA AS
MUCH AS I WANT.
>> GOT TO BE FALSE.
>> THAT IS CORRECT.
>> COMMON SENSE.
>> RIGHT.
>> RIGHT.
>> RIGHT. >> THIS IS NOT COLLEGE,
OVERSHARING CULTURE DOES NOT
WORK AT WORK.
EMPLOYERS HAVE LOTS OF
DIFFERENT PROVISIONS AND RULES
ON WHAT IS OKAY.
ONE RULE A LOT OF EMPLOYERS
HAVE IS YOU ARE NOT ALLOWD TO
ENGAGE IN SOCIAL MEDIA ACTIVITY
WHILE ON THE CLOCK, WHICH MAKES
A LOT OF SENSE.
I WOULD SAY JUST USE COMMON
SENSE WHAT YOU ARE POSTING ON
WHAT IS GOING ON AT WORK, IN
TERMS OF CONFIDENCH ALLEY OR
SENSITIVE ISSUES.
SENSITIVE ISSUES. THERE WAS A STORY ABOUT A WOMAN
WHO GRADUATED COLLEGE AND GOT
HER DREAM JOB AT THIS VERY
SOPHISTICATED AND FANCY AD
AGENCY IN LA.
THERE WAS A BIG PUSH AT THE
AGENCY TO LAND THIS PARTICULAR
CLIENT.
CLIENT.
CLIENT. THEY LAND THE CLIENT AND THE
EMPLOYERS HAVE A LITTLE BRIEF,
YOU KNOW, CELEBRATION PARTY TO
CELEBRATE ALL OF THEIR GOOD
WORK.
WORK.
WORK. HR
WORK. HR SPECIFICALLY HAD REACHED OUT
TO THE EMPLOYEES AND SAID
PLEASE DON'T POST ABOUT THIS ON
SOCIAL MEDIA.
SOCIAL MEDIA. THE INK IS NOT DRY ON THE
CONTRACT.
CONTRACT.
CONTRACT. WE ARE NOT THERE JUST YET.
SO THIS YOUNG WOMAN IS
CELEBRATING HER FIRST BIG
PROFESSIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENT AND
POSTS A PICTURE ON SOCIAL MEDIA
FROM THE PARTY.
SHE IS AT THE PARTY, DANCING,
EVERYONE IS CELEBRATING, AND
BACK PATTING, AND HR TAPS HER
ON THE SHOULDER AND FIRES HER
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PARTY,
THREE HOURS AFTER SHE MADE THE
POST.
POST.
POST. >>
POST. >> DID THEY LOSE THE CLIENT?
>> THEY DID NOT LOSE THE
CLIENT.
CLIENT.
CLIENT. >> SHE BROKE THE RULE.
>> THEY COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY
LOST THE CLIENT, COULD HAVE
BOTCHED A DEAL THAT EVERYONE
HAD BEEN WORKING ON VERY HARD.
>> NOT EVERYTHING HAS TO BE
SHARED.
SHARED.
SHARED. >> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. >> IF YOU ARE WORKING ON
SOMETHING THAT IS TENSEATIVE,
YOU ARE NOT SURE WHAT TO DO,
CHECK WITH HR, YOUR IMMEDIATE
SUPERVISORS.
SUPERVISORS. >> WHAT ELSE YOU GOT IN
>> TRUE OR FALSE, FEDERAL
EMPLOYEES ARE NEVER ALLOWED TO
TALK ABOUT POLITICS ON SOCIAL
MEDIA.
MEDIA.
MEDIA. >>
MEDIA. >> FEDERAL?
>> FEDERAL? >> FEDERAL EMPLOYEESS.
>> TRUE.
>> TRUE.
>> TRUE. >> FALSE.
>> FALSE.
>> FALSE. >> ANSWER IS FALSEISM THEY.
THEY CAN USE SOCIAL MEDIA TO
TALK POLITICS BUT THERE ARE LIM
LTS.
LTS.
LTS. FIRST OF ALL, YOU CANNOT TALK
ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA AND
INTERTWINE SOCIAL MEDIA AND
POLITICS WHILE AT WORK.
THAT ALSO APPLIES TO
TELECOMMUTING, WHICH IS
INTERESTING.
INTERESTING. IF YOU ARE WORKING FROM HOME
AND IN YOUR SWEATS AND WRITING
YOUR BOSS AN E MAIL AND THEN
GOING ON SOCIAL MEDIA TO
SUGGEST SOMEBODY SUPPORT A
CANDIDATE, THAT IS A VIOLATION
OF THE HATCH ACT AND THE HATCH
ACT IS NOT A GUIDELINE, NOT A
RECOMMENDATION, IT IS ACTUALLY
THE LAW.
THE LAW.
THE LAW. VERY SERIOUS FOR FEDERAL
EMPLOYEES.
EMPLOYEES. ADDITIONALLY, FEDERAL EMPLOYEES
CANNOT MENTION THEIR TITLE OR
POSITION WHEN THEY ARE ON
SOCIAL MEDIA AS WELL.
THEY SHOULD GO TO THE OFFICE OF
SPECIAL COUNSEL WEBSITE OSC.GOV
TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE RULES
AND GUIDELINES.
AND GUIDELINES. >> THE OVER ARCHING THEME IS
USE THE TIME YOU ARE AT WORK TO
ACTUALLY WORK AND BE VERY, VERY
CAREFUL WHEN DATING AND USING
SOCIAL MEDIA.
SOCIAL MEDIA. >> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. THAT IS RIGHT.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> WE GIVE YOU A THUMBS UP.
>> I APPRECIATE IT.
