When the Social in Social Media Isn't

Posted January 14, 2009 * Comments(0)

News from the USA that Myspace has laid off a number of its employees, in what the company says is a simple restructuring. The lay offs took place in the Los Angeles and New York offices and social media being what it is, the laid off employees checked their ex bosses Myspace pages for messages of sympathy. 

Portfolio.coms Jeff Bercovici reported the ex employees discovered brand new and jarringly chipper status update messages.

Jeff said, the company’s senior vice president for marketing, described her mood as “focused,” with this message: “just another manic monday. after a sublime weekend. can you say SUNNY LA.” Meanwhile, sales and marketing president Jeff Berman seemed preoccupied by Malcolm Gladwell’s new book. His message, punctuated with a big smiley face: “loved Outliers — great read.”

Talk about lack of sensitivity by management to ex employees, maybe they’re better off not working for the company, so be careful what you say on your social media sites.

Know any management like those in Myspace? If you do then please let me know, and no smiley faces please.
