Tweeting while at work is a very interesting topic to me because I personally know people who have polar opposite opinions about this. A while back, I had a very dear friend of mine who was fired from his job because his employer was monitoring his personal Twitter page. After seeing the number of tweets he sent while he was at work, they cracked the whip and set an example for everyone else who worked there.
However, that was in January of 2010, and a lot has changed in the world of social media since then. A lot of companies simply block Facebook and Twitter at the office, but what kind of message does that send to the employees? After all, we are all adults here. Do we really need to be micromanaged like a bunch of children? Some employers insist the answer to that question is yes.
