[QUOTE="Blewis11, post: 2005071, member: 16395"] Unless you have a written employment agreement guaranteeing you a specific term, Oklahoma is an at-will employment state. In other words, employers generally can fire you at any time and for any reason (the only exceptions to this are federally protected reasons, such as firing you because you are old, a minority, handicapped, etc.). So it really doesn't matter if they don't like you facebook posts, or they don't like the way you parted your hair that day, they can fire you and its perfectly legal. Its interesting to see how facebook posts are going to be used against people in court. Oklahoma hasn't addressed this, but I saw a case from another jurisdiction recently talking about your private posts versus if your posts are public, can what is used in there be used as evidence in Court. It will be interesting to see how this plays out in the future. [/QUOTE]
