No limit.
Please let us know.
Musk made this audacious pledge in a late-night tweet. Despite the enormity of his proposition, Musk did not give any detail on the avenues through which individuals could intimate their predicaments or what would constitute “unfair” treatment.
In an era where social media has integrated itself into the fabric of our daily lives, its impact on individuals’ employment status has become increasingly noticeable. Recent years have seen a notable uptick in cases where employees have been terminated over controversial posts or engagements on platforms such as X. This trend underlines the convergence of the personal and professional domains, highlighting the extent to which social media has become a new frontier in employee conduct assessment.
