Anyone told and/or made to use Yammer or Facebook workplace to 'stay in touch' with corporate communications from on high ?

I can't think of anything worse. When I leave work I log off and disconnect and don't give a rats ass about it.

I rarely work extra time since my contract doesn't say I have to. I don't stay constantly connected to work even out of work.

Yes. Then I was bullied, mobbed and fired pretty quick.
I was overheard telling a coworker that she was allowed to turn off the phone if her family wouldn't stop calling I said,"it's not a remote control for your body so your family can use you from a distance,". Something was recording me.
My boss quoted that and said it was my last mistake - pretty much the last straw.

@Roundandroundwego That's awful.

How can a company fire someone for an alleged ('alleged' from its point of view), overhead conversation about a colleague's home life - nothing to do with the company?

No union representation? No proper disciplinary processes in that company? No employee protection laws that might have made the management a bit more careful?
