Do I have to answer to my employers about comments I made on Facebook concerning the company I work for.

I have made a few disparaging comments on facebook about the home I work in, I havent named the company that I work for or the name of the Home or any person. A few other staff have also made similar comments.

Today the Manager called in one of the staff members concerned and she was questioned about these comments and was made to make a statement.

The comments were made whilst off duty and on our own personal PC's.

Are we bound to answer any of these questions in this investigation about what was said on Facebook.

What is our legal position with all this, I will be leaving this employ as soon as I find another job.

Well I was called into the office yesterday and asked a load of questions about the generalised accusations I made on Facebook, I answered a few and gave a "No Comment" to a few. It is now in the hands of solicitors and they are advising the company and posing all the questions to be asked. I would like to take it to the papers, the problem with that is I would then be unemployable in this field.

Well I hope it turns out ok for you ratter. Someone I know was sacked recently for something that sounds similar to what you did.
