Melanie's actions were misguided, but I have to give her points for creativity. Option D is the right call, though - that company has to come down hard on her.

Haha, I bet Melanie thought she was being a real go-getter, but her boss is probably ready to strangle her right about now.

I can't believe Melanie thought she could just take it upon herself to create a company-related social media account. That's a big no-no!

I agree with you, Tegan. Using company logos without permission is a violation of copyright and trademark laws.

I think Melanie should have asked for permission before creating the social networking account.
