I guess even writing this on a forum I'm buying into the 'sign of the times' opinion but it just strikes me as an interesting subject to debate, however the basis for my question isn't the nicest so maybe I should be burned at the stake for even bringing it up. I'll explain now....
Sadly one of the customer managers at my work passed away last night. This morning we were all appropriately informed of events and given time to gather our thoughts. People were asked not to communicate this further at that moment because they were still trying to contact some work colleagues who should be informed. Everyone behaved impeccably.
This afternoon its all over facebook. Is that appropriate, inappropriate or just the way social media works nowadays? It just strikes me as a bit odd, its not the sort of thing I'd be posting about online like that. I don't like it. What do you think?
