Sometimes you just have to love and hate social media.   As an HR professional you have you are always on guard, it is your job!  You have to protect your company brand and your company’s engagement levels.    Last night I was viewing a video that has gone viral.   It seems a JR production person felt that she just wasn’t having her creative juices exploited.   She might have resigned in an interesting manner, but she certainly didn’t mention the company’s name or the image.    Now you can just imagine HR/ the PR team and some C Level executives watching this and thinking…. OH my… now what?   
 
This company took action with a great viral video to back.   I couldn’t help but think this was a brilliant effort and I must admit it made laugh and even want to recommend the company to work for.  The end result for the company, they had a fun project, brought the team together had a laugh and I am sure they don’t have to worry about posting the job on any job boards.
