Happens all the time in social media and even in real life.
A few weeks ago, the company I work with made a decision on shifting some employees around to other departments. They even so far as to offer them the opportunity to work in newly formed departments or offer positions in a variety of other departments. The department they were currently in was being shifted overseas (where there was already an office).
Now, where is the negativity in this? Online via social media, of course. And across the region's news outlets. The majority of the headlines and articles were slanted against the company, and did not reflect the true picture of what was going on.
I am in no way, shape, or form backing what the company was doing, as it could have done a much better job of communicating. That being said, it brings to light the bigger picture of negativity. I read the comments and shook my head at how misinformed people are.
So I digress: do not get sucked into the mire of negativity. Move on. Take a step back and see the bigger picture.
