Can an employer discipline you for a comment made on a private web profile about a fellow employee during time off work?
Can an employer discipline you for a comment made on a private web profile about a fellow employee to a select group of people during time off work? The comment was made in retaliation to verbal abuse and threats in the workplace.
Potentially yes - although your employer would have to follow the disciplinary procedure and go through an investigation which is your chance to provide an explanation.
It is worth remembering you should always be really careful about the web - it can come back to haunt you I'm afraid.
