Top Law Schools

deleteeee

You're likely going to jail.

But really, if not flame, just a slap on the wrist.

This is all a messed up story.

no flame! true story, swear!

nothing is going to happen

I just wonder why they want to meet with me? Can they really do anything?

No. They're going to ask you to stop being stupid / embarrassing them on social media. You'll be like yeah sorry it was a misunderstanding and I've already deleted my twitter.

Because it's a professional school that's aimed at getting people jobs. Anything that a student does that hurts relations with employers is something that concerns them. They're just going to ask you to explain and then tell you how poorly it reflects upon you and the school. Don't worry. The literally worst that can happen is that they ban you from using the CSO resources.

they are probably calling u in to tell u that ur bad at jokes

Post a screenshot of the tweet.

Yeah I don't see why that would be funny unless there's some inside joke about the companies

yeah, you'd have to know the companies to get the joke. I can't believe they would see that tweet though and actually talk to CSO about it. CSO even wants documentation saying that my emergency was really an emergency and I just didn't skip my interview.

Pepsi and Coke?

But yeah, people in law and the corporate world generally are a bunch of sad fucks with incredibly thin skin, no chill, and no sense of humor.

My bet is that the company was Microsoft.

The level of thuggery and litigiousness evidenced by HR people contacting op's cso over such a minor issue is classic microsoft.

This is what seems so outrageous to me. Who goes through this much effort to harass some law student for seemingly no benefit? Is there a guy whose job it is to monitor negative tweets about the company and see that the tweeters get their comeuppance? You're probably lucky you didn't get black-bagged by some dudes in a van. You could be in a Coca-Cola black site by now, getting something spiky shoved up your urethra.

I am personally shocked, though I'm happy to admit that I know next to nothing about corporate HR and social media departments. Are my future employers stalking my Instagram cat pictures and my ironic 9/11 Truth Facebook posts?

I later post on twitter that I didn't interview with X company because of my love for Y (rival) company. This was just an attempt at humor, the real reason why I had to cancel the interview was an emergency. My twitter was private at the time of this tweet and only my followers were able to see it. Recently and stupidly made my twitter public to claim an american express deal.

If this is a troll, the bolded is my favorite part. Actually, even if this is not a troll, the bolded is still my favorite part. Also, lol@Company X scouring twitter for weeks-old tweets from extern applicants.

OP HERE: I know it sounds so funny, but all of this is serious, this is not a flame!

If CSO decides to take away my OCI privileges, what do I do? First amendment arguments? I have a feeling they value their relationship with that company and aren't willing to let me off easy.

5 bucks that OP actually tagged someone he was supposed to interview with.

EDIT: actually just 1 dollar, I don't think I can afford more than that.

Pic or it didn't happen.

How about you wait until you start freaking out? There is no way they are going to exclude you from OCI over a dumb tweet. You should also ask them how the company noticed your tweet, and report back.

Two points:
1. Doubtful anything happens to you. Worst case scenario, CSO blackballs you from using their resources. You just have to get interviews via mass mailing rather than OCI. But I doubt that happens if you have a valid excuse and are capable of explaining the situation in an intelligent, respectful manner.
2. It's good that you deactivated twitter. This is a good lesson on how not to use social media. Best to think before you post something online. Unless you're anonymous. Then milk that shit for all it's worth.
