It won’t happen to me because I’m not on Facebook.No but you are on here! The point is just be carefull what you say, and don’t tell other drivers your ID on here!!!
Doesn’t helps.
there are already a few example where the Moderator posted Identity of Member.
The company made me sign a social media policy, its 4 pages long and it goes into quite a lot of detail to what you can and cannot say.
Bking:
Face book, “social network”,slag your boss off!!!Sounds like one dumb son of a bitc* to me.
Problem is they let thick fekers like this drive a bloody truck.
Used to trust truck drivers on a motorway,junction,bypass etc but now
any bugger can get a licence but they got the IQ of a mollusc.I give them
a wiiiide birth now.See in my day or even now you have a problem with some feker(boss or not) you go put it into their face first.Not go shout a load of crap to Ethel in yarmouth first on some sad web siteforcretins dot bloody com.Bout time your ■■■■■■ grew a pair off balls.
Read the comments on here bout employment law ,ip address,privacy act,etc
and to tell you the truth gentlemen i am ■■■■■ ashamed.
That in a Trade (transport) I have been in for over 40 bloody years,that trades on its “oh so macho image” is reduced to calling somebody else names on some, lets face it,gossiping wives bloody network instead of walking into a transport office and saying “your a [zb] and I will see you outside”
What can you say you are a bunch of ■■■■■ women.Glad I have only 10 years to go!
This is why the wops the waps and any bugger else can walk into this country and take your work and your bloody dignity.WAKE UP
Feel better after that? 
I nearly lost my job over Facebook when i was in the Police.
A person who was on my friends list put a rant up about her neighbour and this person is a handful and will slap anyone. I replied to her status saying “Lucky she didn’t get slapped” with no meaning behind it at all.
2 weeks later i get called in to office and was told i am being investigated because of the comment i made. I didn’t lie and said the truth. Lucky for me i kept my job.
Wake up call for anyone really

There is no driver anywhere called “Winseer” for instance. The ID has been around for over a quarter of a century, and has nothing to do with driving apart from the posts on here.But your IP address is logged and you can be traced from that one way or another.
IP addresses mean diddley squat as it can be changed or spoofed and anyway an IP address only identifies the internet connection and NOT the person, so it is impossible to trace an individual.
Actually you can be traced from your IP address.
Apparently so.

Remember those spy shows where they have the CIA looking down from space, and can always see the one they want to see walking about?
As if it’s in the visible spectrum, with never any cloud cover… 
In summary then, Facebook is used by stupid people with very low to non-existent intelligence levels and far too much time on their hands. Who’da thunk it eh.

The silly thing is a boss is more likely to object to someone mouthing off “My boss is a pillock who supports spurs” than someone who says “My boss won’t chase up that guy who’s got his hand in the till” which I would have thought would reflect worse on them in the higher company’s eyes.Then of course there’s the “My boss is a crook and I’ve got proof” which will probably have the employee thus saying ending up getting a contract taken out on them!
If I were a boss, I’d only be concerned about troll attacks, and I’d ignore the rest as mere banter.
What was the actual boss critique in this case?As far as facebook is concerned, you don’t ever use your own name if you are to make use of it effectively.

if any of my drivers ever said that about me, they would be sacked on the spot!!!

Ive been sacked because of an internet forum before.
But my current knows im on a coach drivers website and apparently hes had other firms ring him up praising meRecovery firms perhaps?
no, wing mirror suppliers
About 18 months ago every employee at my depot was given a letter warning us about social media and a few do’ s and don’t s.
What he may or may not have said must have been quite extreme to warrant instant dismissal.
He has been made an example of, his colleagues will now think twice before posting.

Didn’t know that was implied… I was suggesting it from an arsenal supporter’s viewpoint.
Next, we’ll stop using the term “Tosco” on here.

exactly, i’m the red half of scouseland
ok i get it…BUT can the employer actually prove it was his employee that posted the comment?
peoples accounts get frapped, you leave it on and someone writes crap on your site.
taking it a bit further … you go out for a drink at wkend ie… on wkly rest and you get in a scuffle not your fault and a customer sees recognises you and tells your boss (this is your main customer) ,who then tells you no drinking in your rest days or you will be sacked !as main customer doesnt like drinking.
would you agree to that,didnt think so.
Im paid 12hrs a day and what i get up to for the other 12 is nothing to do with my employer same as wkends .
as long as i turn up do my job the best i can behave myself .
by the way my boss knows im on here and in his words …and?.

Wrong, your contract of employment can be changed at any time but you must be given 90 days notification of any changes in writing by your employer whether YOU agree to the changes or not. If a union is in place then these changes can be negotiated over but the end result is usually the same
What utter ■■■■■■■■. Difference between me and you is I bother to find out this stuff instead of believing what people tell you down the pub.
From the GOVERNMENTS WEBSITE:
gov.uk/your-employment-cont … -agreement
Part 1:
Getting agreement
If employers want to make changes to an employee’s contract, they must get their agreement.
Employment law from TUC point of view:
worksmart.org.uk/rights/can_ … ontract_of
However, that does not change the fact that an unauthorised, one-sided variation is a breach of the contract of employment
And ACAS:
acas.org.uk/media/pdf/8/6/Va … ersion.pdf
How can contracts be varied?
- An existing contract of employment can be varied only with the agreement
of both parties.
The only ways they can do it without your agreement is if your contract already states they can vary parts of it or they make you redundant.
You’ve been had mate.

allthough the above info is readily available and seems correct, as it may be, however try and find someone to fight your corner using the above and your on a loser,
for instance you have worked at your place for 25 years, you were given a contract at the start of your employment, someone else started 6 months ago and just signed his contract, but i bet that this contract is totally different to the one you signed even though you both earn the same cash ect, I worked at a university and an enforced change of contact came around, unions fight it? no… tuc? no… we tried several organisations solicitors, employment law specialists,no one would take it on,and they all said that it is a very grey area…
i use facebook most days, and call my boss a lazy git on it too, the normal response from him is one of those face in the hole pictures(normally shagging a sheep or similar) and so it goes on
