Hello!!!
Does anyone have a confidentiality agreement they would like share???? Our credit union would l ike to create one since we've been facing our current employees 'communicating with former employees discussing the operation of the credit union through Facebook, twitter, e-mail, phone or any other means of communication. I'd like to create a policy stating that any discussion of confidential information will lead to termination.
:help:
Thank you,

Many, if not most, employers have a provision in their policies that prevent employees from disparaging the company publicly... If the NLRB is going to rule that Facebook pages are not public, then what else might they consider private? Facebook posts are like a conversation in a crowded restaurant. You can say it was private, but you have to have some expectation that others will hear what is said.
