Upon hearing the news that her father had lost his job, the daughter of GM (General Motors) EX-chief executive, Fritz Henderson decided to post her thoughts on GM’s Facebook page. A pic is below, but in short her wall post can be summed up as “Fuck you GM!”
There has been a lot of “hooha” about this. The Times Online article opened with:
“If anybody needed a lesson on what not to do when dad loses his job, Sarah Henderson, daughter of General Motors’ ousted chief executive Fritz Henderson, has the answer.”
and the Telegraph put:
“The rant, although not a major issue for the company, highlights the problems that can occur when companies use social networking sites”
How is this a problem? It doesn’t harm GM, it doesn’t harm Henderson but it has given Sarah an outlet to vent her anguish (in spectacular fashion). If she was my daughter, I would be very proud of how she fought in my corner and basically said what I was thinking but couldn’t say out loud.
Don’t you just love the power of social media?
