Social media is everywhere. It's at home, at the gym, at the grocery store, at school, and even at work. The use of social media has become so pervasive in today's workplace that it is even having an impact on the enforcement of federal laws.
A meeting was recently held with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) in Washington DC about this very topic.
