Anthony Weiner not the only one in Twitter trouble

(CBS/AP) BETHLEHEM, Pa. - This case doesn't quite rival  Rep. Anthony Weiner's wayward twitter adventures. Still, an economic development agency in Pennsylvania has fired an employee who tweeted that maybe her colleagues should knock off work early to play golf.

Watch the birdie!

Williams was given severance papers over the weekend, partly because of the Twitter message, President and CEO Phil Mitman told The Morning Call of Allentown.

"I think this is an interesting lesson for all of us about the use of social media and about how chatty and how much information goes out there immediately and what the consequences are," said Mitman, calling the tweet "out of line."

He said the agency does allow workers to leave early on Fridays, but only if they've already worked 40 hours. No one left early on Friday, he noted.

Williams declined to comment when reached by The Morning Call newspaper. She did not immediately respond to messages left by The Associated Press on Wednesday.

The Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corp. is partly funded with tax dollars, including about $800,000 a year from a regional hotel tax and annual allocations from Lehigh and Northampton counties. Its mission is to bring new companies to the Lehigh Valley, and help existing businesses expand.

After Williams' tweet, another Twitter user asked if the Valley would be more "economically competitive" if the agency's staff stayed at their desks until 5 p.m. on Fridays.

The agency then followed with several clarifying tweets, including one that said, "critical staff stay here all day. Always have someone here from (8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) M-F." Another said, "Nobody teeing off today. Too much work to do - short week with Monday."
