Snarky Facebook Gloat Costs Papa Cash

Yesterday's post was about an arrogant snarky franchise manager taking advantage of an employee and getting whacked for a big settlement.  Today's is about the arrogant snarky daughter of a successful plaintiff who likely cost her dad his compensation in an age discrimination claim by posting about it on facebook - proving her dad had violated the confidentiality agreement.

According to the report in the Miami Herald, a 69 year old headmaster at a private preparatory school was denied contract renewal and sued claiming age discrimination.  The case eventually settled with the plaintiff receiving approximately $90,000 and with a confidentiality clause.  However, the plaintiff's college aged daughter posted the following on her facebook page:

“Mama and Papa Snay won the case against [the prep school],” Dana Snay posted days later to her 1,200 Facebook friends. “[The school] is now officially paying for my vacation to Europe this summer. SUCK IT.”

When her former prep-mates/facebook friends saw it, word got back to the school. The Florida Appellate Court has set aside the settlement.
