This is a fun story--I say kudos to that Ole Miss staffer for pulling for the good guys! Is this a case of viewpoint discrimination in the workplace?

while the university will never tell its employees whom they can or cannot cheer for, there is an expectation to support Ole Miss while on the clock
while I like the support for LSU, i agree with this.

Nah. It's kind of same Reason Mett's mom was given vacation the week of Georgia game. From a business perspective, we are the competition.

Can't believe they took the time to write that, unless the guy is just a complete a-hole douchebag, which is probably the case.

A lot of unknowns. Incessant tweeting rather than doing their job? Or is it an officious a-hole throwing their weight around?

Imagine the response to the staffer's tweet if the Rebels had lost. Off to the Russian Front! But a memo to all hands? Realy?


I'm disappointed in Ole Miss and expect better of them.

And apologies to Ole Miss fans for this. I couldn't figure out how to farq a Black Bear.

Imagine an LSU employee on the sidelines of the game openly rooting for Alabama. Might not make it to next morning. Thought Ole Miss was more tolerant, but since it was LSU...

I have no idea if said employee is the girl that I know, but I know a girl that graduated from LSU that is now employed by their Athletic Association. Seems like a load of shite to me either way.

We also ask employees who are hired to do a specific job to do that job and not focus on social media


Sending out one tweet is not "focusing on social media" above your job
