It’s one of HR’s worse nightmares: An employee or ex-employee posts complaints about their employer on social media, and it goes viral.
Just recently, a U.S. worker fired by two human resources professionals over Zoom recorded and posted the incident on TikTok. Brittany Pietsch was told that she was being let go because she was not meeting expectations based on 2023 performance evaluations.
While Pietsch challenged this assessment, the one HR person responded, “I don’t think there’s anything we can say in this moment or today, Brittany, that’s going to change the way that you feel.”
