This incident has also brought forward critical recruitment and employment issues surrounding how to manage questionable employee conduct and brand reputation in the age of social media—concerns which require thoughtful attention, consideration, and action.

She advocates the importance of professionals taking time to think before they speak, and emphasizes just how much poor behavior like this documented online can haunt your career.
