Tenn. FFs Reprimanded for Facebook
Five firefighters who left comments on a Facebook page while on the clock will be given an oral reprimand and have copy of the incident placed in their records.
McMINNVILLE, Tenn. --
It seems as though everyone is on Facebook these days, but logging on while on the clock is getting some McMinnville city employees in trouble, even on their own computers.
Five firefighters used their personal laptops to leave comments on a page called "Save McMinnville Firefighters and Station 2." The problem was that their timesheets corresponded with the time the online comments were posted.
According to the Southern Standard newspaper, the employees will be given an oral reprimand and have a copy of the incident placed in their records.
