sometimes the business owner is own worst enemy

Don't do this...

Scenario:
  1. New business owner, frustrated with increasing expenses is faced with laying off employee.
  2. Instead they decide to terminate one person, who in response (and not surprisingly) gets very upset.
  3. NOW, the business owner, in response to his now former employee being upset, decides to air the situation on their personal Facebook page and solicits feedback from their friends.
  4. Personal Facebook page is overrun with anti-employee comments, some very aggressive and out of line.  

Why is this a problem?
  1. The business doesn't have HR in place, or an at-will-employment policy OR an employee handbook  -  if the business had these in place, all would be protected.
  2. The employee doesn't have anything recorded against them anywhere in their employee history. No coaching, counseling, nothing....and may be eligible to collect unemployment. (as determined by EDD guidelines)
  3. The business owner has opened up the business for a legitimate wrongful termination lawsuit.

Long story short:
Another business owner who has ZERO HR in place, may face exhorbitant legal fees to defend against lawsuit, which leads to ---> loss of employee trust, personal credibility ---> loss of business from unprofessional Facebook rant --->  loss of business.

It's not worth it...
