Can we discipline employee who posted rude photo on Facebook?
Q. An employee complained to management that she saw an offensive  Facebook post by one of her co-workers. The post was about another  employee. The post was a picture of a monkey and the caption read "my  co-worker." Next to it was a picture of the co-worker in her company  uniform and the caption read, "Now here she is without hair." Being that  he posted a picture of her in a shirt with our company logo on it, is  there anything we can do to discipline him? Can we at least question him  and ask him to remove it since she is in uniform? – Stacey, New York
