How would you describe the difference$-$if one exists$-$between the information Kelly shared with her boyfriend that ended up on Facebook versus what Serena said about the company on Twitter?

Multiple Choice

Neither post is that bad in the grand scheme of things. The Facebook post didn't disclose specifics about the product. And no company is perfect$-$as such, one employee's posts that bad$-$mouth a company are just one employee's opinion.

Kelly didn't share information directly on social matia, which makes it less problematic than the information Serena shared directly on social media.

The information related to Kelly's leak contained proprietary company information, and Kelly signed a confidentiality agreement not to discuss or disclose proprietary company information. Even though she didn't personally post it on social media, her disclosure led to a major leak of the information that could undermine years of research. Serena's posts$-$while unflattering to the company$-$did not violate a signed agreement. In addition, there is a difference between someone's right to speak their mind and someone who divulges proprietary company information.

Really, there is no substantial difference between the information shared by Kelly and Serena. The information from both is equally damaging to a company and its reputation, and employees who share both kinds of information should be treated the same and terminated immediately.
