Excerpt from The Gap Social Media Policy
1. “Some subjects can invite a flame war. Be careful discussing things where
emotions run high (e.g. politics and religion) and show respect for others’
opinions.”
2. “Your job comes first. Unless you are an authorized Social Media
Manager, don’t let social media affect your job performance.”
3. “If you #!%#@# up? Correct it immediately and be clear about what
you’ve done to fix it. Contact the social media team if it’s a real doozy.”
4. “Don’t even think about it…. Talking about financial information, sales
trends, strategies, forecasts, legal issues, future promotional activities. Giving
out personal information about customers or employees. Posting confidential

customer. There’s no winner in that game.”
