I really don't see how he's setting double standards -- unless his trip to burning man was a business trip?

The rules, as I can deduce from the article, are that you can't compromise the privacy of guests. Was anyone at the company ever reprimanded for being shirtless on their Facebook profiles?




Yes, but towards the bottom he admits he also wouldn't want his employees to post any picture making the company look bad. Such as a picture of them wearing a company shirt while engaging in illegal activity. That's the gray area he is referring to.


Going to burning man is not illegal, though. But I agree, he shouldn't do stuff he wouldn't want his employees to do. Doesn't he say he wouldn't even mind SM pics of his employees?


As CEO, he is a company shirt.

So if he, and his HR department, are OK with employees wearing company shirts at Burning Man (while also - ahem - half-naked), he's OK.

Otherwise, not so much.

I think he should keep his pictures up, but think about the company shirt at BM thing.
