911 tweets prompt MetroSafe questions

The problems I see here are

- she was tweeting while she should have been working. all the timestamps were during her working hours. This is probably a policy violation in and of itself. She posted STEADILY throughout her ENTIRE shift nearly every night. That's a problem, regardless of what she wrote. She did this frequency of posting for MONTHS. (her twitter is gone, but I was able to view a Cached version all the way back to November). Yes, people have downtime at work. Yes, thousands of employees everywhere don't work for the entirety of their shift. Plenty of people goof off online or are just plain lazy. BUT this chick posted on a social networking site throughout her entire shift, EVERY shift, for months-- on a PUBLIC site. She was asking to get reported, honestly. Hell, she even posted a picture with "METROSAFE" on a computer screen. She gave the people who told on her everything they needed.

- she had her phone in an area she wasn't supposed to have it. Employers more and more are able to fire people for what they say in emails, access on the internet, or phone usage.

- she did this all in a very public forum. Twitter has security measures. My tweets are protected and only those I approve can see them. She could have very easily done the same, or at least left off her personal picture or "Louisville, KY" so people didn't know where to rat her out. Sorry but when you have as good a paying job as she does, you don't exactly eff it up with nonsense like this. I've seen TONS of police and dispatcher twitter accounts but they are all smart about it and do not put their actual city. I follow some hilarious cops but the closest they have ever come to personally identifying info is the state they work in.

Another big issue here though is the person who turned her in. You know someone tipped off WHAS about this. So was it a grudge? A mad coworker? Someone who didn't like her? Because, in my opinion, if it were someone genuinely concerned about the kinds of things she was posting, they would have reported her to MetroSafe not WHAS news, the most shady, salacious and instigating news station in Louisville
