You have to love those authoritarian bosses who probably get little power anyplace else in the world. I have seen people fired for a lot less, believe me.

I think that the prob I see here is that because she is a celebrity , that she deserves better treatment than you or I . If you were at a restaurant and said Ill be right back with the money , and tried to skip the bill , the police would have been called and might spend a night in jail even though it was only a 15 dollar tab. while i agree in theory that the owner was “protecting his business”, it was a huge overreaction on his part of firing a great employee. the proper response would be to perhaps suspend the employee for a few days at the most then they would be allowed back to work . and also to immediately implement a policy regarding blogging and customer privacy
perhaps in a memo or a staff meeting would be a great idea as well. that way if it happened again , then the employer has covered his own ass morally. but as we all know that will never happen , celebrities have a different set of rules than the rest of us and get away with it .

i think the waiter’s an idiot. Shouldn’t he know by now not to do that? And for you to say they shouldn’t have fired him – then why didn’t YOU publish the name of the Bistro? Exactly.

His being fired is a direct result from Twitter and Facebook ect.
Too much information will get you……canned or worse. Employers are starting to look on Facebook and Twitter (I hate both of them).
Doesn’t anyone value privacy anymore? Apparently not.
