I got to thinking about how someone’s position within the company may affect the policy? My thoughts are; should the company as a whole be as concerned about the posts by their lower level employees as compared to the executive team? For example, would the board at General Electric even notice that a data entry employee went out and tied on one too many? Probably not. Not, if the CEO or CFO went out and got three sheets to the wind and started posting silly things it would probably cause some waves. It is not that the public assumes that the management does not enjoy their time away from the office, they are simply held to a higher standard.

So, circle back to a policy issue, is it fair to write SOP that is different for different team members? Or, do you just have one SOP with riders for upper management and high-profile employees?
