 Miss Teen USA 2016 supposed to take a step in the direction of feminism and equal rights as the contest ditched swimsuits for athletic wear this year, but in the wee hours following the event that crowned Miss Texas Carly Hey, the 18 year old high school senior took to Twitter to do damage control on on her Twitter. Apparently, she was discovered to have repeatedly used racial slurs on Twitter, including the inward and people began to take screenshots of it and call her out on it, according to the Houston Chronicle. Whatever social and business experts, Jason Troy is joining us now to talk about this. What happens in a situation like this? Jason, what's the best way to handle it? Well, I think she tried to do a pretty good job by reaching out and, you know, getting to Twitter and, you know, talking about, you know, that it doesn't represent her and she's going to take steps to represent the pageant better. And so, you know, I think at that moment in time, that's a pretty much the only thing you can do. Should this have disqualified her from the pageant and should maybe pageant officials have known about this before crowning her? I mean, I think it's probably a pretty good idea to start checking people's social media accounts and seeing who's going in because that's creating a lot of problems. I think now it's a little challenging, you know, because I think of her age to kick her out and not allow her to do that. But I do think that it's going to be important to see what she does now moving forward, right? Because there's obviously something going on that's making her create those posts, right? And also to think that creating posts like that, you know, doesn't matter and that people aren't going to see them, right? She knew she was going in this pageant, which also to me is rather interesting that she wouldn't check our social media accounts and get rid of anything. Right. Because after seeing the scrutiny that all the rest of these people have been under right in these pages. Like that also calls for questions like, I don't care if you're 18, 16 or whatever, there are people around you. I mean, you need to be thinking about getting better people around you advising you at that point. Well, although I will say we have presidential candidates who haven't been scrubbing their Twitter account of stupid things said in the past. Either. Is it possible, Jason, to use the the N word and language like that and not be racist? Not if you aren't an African American. So, I mean, and, you know, you can debate whether anyone should be using it or not, but someone who is not that race and ethnicity can be using that. I mean, that's something that's going to cause you a lot of problems. And there's no real way to get out of that and have that conversation. Yeah. Yeah. Jason Troy is an executive coach, author of the book Social Wealth and his website is beextraordinary.com. What happened? Shaggy, you were mentioning the story of Laramie Tunsel. The NFL rookie who was in the draft and just before the draft started a video on his Twitter account of him taking rips off a bong using a gas mask. It was, it seems very similar except this one very clearly a hack. I don't know how this beauty pageant contestant, if she tried to play the hacked card or not. But it just reminds, it just, it seemed very similar in that how tightly monitored the social media accounts can be and how it can affect things just minutes before you're actually going to go out there and accomplish one of the biggest goals of your life. She did this back in like 2013 and 2014. So it's not something like that one came up right before, which definitely is a problem. But I mean, I think this is, this is replies that she put out there and also replies on other people. So, you know, when people are doing that a few times, I think that does start to call on a question. Is this repeated behavior that you actually believe or not? I mean, because of her age and what has happened, you know, some of that could be debatable, but I definitely think she needs to take steps to convince people that's not part of her persona and belief system, especially, you know, carrying a crown and an organization like that because people won't be very happy if she doesn't really take some actions behind her words. Yeah, she'll have to, she'll have to do something to show that she is not racist. Even if it doesn't mean giving up the crown, at some point you'll have to attend some sort of seminar, give some sort of speech to a public service announcement on Snapchat, something like that. Jason, we also wanted to talk to you about something that I'm sure Shaggy and Dan are going to laugh at me for even asking, but there was a letter in Inc.com from a reader who writes that they're in a nine to five job, but the company has recently hired somebody to be his new boss. Now emailing him on weekends and expect him to reply immediately. I get work email on my own personal cell phone, which I pay the bill for, but can I really be expected to respond to work issues on the weekend that can honestly wait until Monday? My answer, of course, this is me is, well, yeah, if I didn't want an answer, I wouldn't have emailed you right now. Yeah, but I think the challenge is that the dangerous precedent is set up to have people consistently attached to their phones and email. It does start to wear down people when there's this fear that if they don't check it, something bad's going to happen and there's some repercussions to that. I mean, you know, I think as managing people, you've got to set boundaries, you know, for them and in communicating with them because most of the stuff is really is not that necessary. I'm sure there are things that come up that are, but not that many are urgent critical that if they don't get to it by Monday morning, there's going to be some significant hit to the business. Well, should as a boss, should we resist the urge to send communications, emails, text messages after work hours? That probably would be best. I think for a lot of people, maybe that's not possible for them and their mentality, but I would then not expect a response unless it's something marked, you know, absolutely urgent. Because otherwise, you know, you're having people having to work around the clock and that's just not good for people's productivity to be stressed and having to check email every night at 10, 11 o'clock at night or midnight. I mean, that's not really a healthy environment for someone to be in. And that's not what you'd want. You've never really worked for me, have you? You have worked in corporate America, so I know all about that. Here's the thing. I use email all the time, but a lot of times it's just now a convenient way. If I think of something, you know, rather than trying to make a note and then going back and find my note and then addressing it three days later, I'll just send an email about something. And if I want an answer, I'll say I need an answer on this tonight or this morning or overnight or this weekend or whatever. But sometimes it's just mainly a reminder to somebody or a message that I didn't have a way to write down other than on my phone, which was more convenient. That doesn't make me a bad guy, does it? I don't think so. I mean, as long as it's not a consistent thing where you're expecting responses, I think at off hours that are really going to be challenging for someone to send them a note with that expectation. Because as long as you're clearly communicating that with people and setting boundaries that are reasonable, I mean, I think that these things are fine. Shaggy, have I set proper boundaries? Let's put it this way. It's better than the last guys. That's an interesting response. Jason, should companies have like mandatory break time where they unplug tech-free Friday or tech-free weekend, something like that to let employees recharge and relax for a change? I mean, I definitely think those are helpful, especially I think also when you're on vacation is to make sure, I think that's one of the most important things is making people disconnect. And often as a manager, you're going to have to enforce that by not letting people do emails. I mean, I don't know if you're ever going to stop people from emailing at off times. I just think you have to set expectations and boundaries. And then when people are on vacation, make them unplug and not respond. So they actually take a vacation and they're not constantly checking email every day that they're gone and replying back to people. If you've got a boss like this, or if you're in a situation like this, you can remain anonymous, but I want to hear your story. 419-214-1370, call me right now.
