This moron would post photos of him smoking and drinking on Facebook. The boss found out and predictably fired him on the spot. This guy was almost 30-years-old.” rebbd https://padlet.com/rebbd/bsh1ljybhx9j/wish/213370913 2017-12-05 16:21:02 UTC https://padlet.com/rebbd/bsh1ljybhx9j/wish/213370913 2. “A girl I know was a nurse at a hospital and got fired for posting things on Facebook such as: ‘Soooooo sleepy here in the ICU. Will someone please code and give me something exciting to do? #isthatbad?’ and a lot of racist things. The dumbest part about it was she was TAGGING the hospital she worked at in her posts” rebbd https://padlet.com/rebbd/bsh1ljybhx9j/wish/213371744 2017-12-05 16:22:21 UTC https://padlet.com/rebbd/bsh1ljybhx9j/wish/213371744 3. “I posted a blog post on MySpace in 2005 that got me discharged from the Army. I indicated I had romantic feelings for a female and that I had acted on those feelings (I am also female). My sergeant suspected I was involved with this woman so she looked me up on MySpace, saw the blog post, and 3 months later, I was discharged for ‘homosexual conduct.'” rebbd https://padlet.com/rebbd/bsh1ljybhx9j/wish/213371913 2017-12-05 16:22:35 UTC https://padlet.com/rebbd/bsh1ljybhx9j/wish/213371913 6. “I had to fire an employee for a tweet he wrote about a customer. He tweeted ‘(customer’s full name) would be a great name for a porn star.’ I found out about it when the customer’s lawyer called me the next day threatening action. Turns out the guy worked for the local newspaper and obsessively searched his name on all social media.” colemanj11 https://padlet.com/rebbd/bsh1ljybhx9j/wish/213372065 2017-12-05 16:22:50 UTC https://padlet.com/rebbd/bsh1ljybhx9j/wish/213372065 4. “Joined a games studio alongside a guy who’d just finished his philosophy degree. He felt that the game’s official forums were the best place to discuss whether disabled people would be ‘Of as much value as pigs’ after a post-apocalyptic event, and if they should be simply slaughtered and eaten. All using his company account, of course.” rebbd https://padlet.com/rebbd/bsh1ljybhx9j/wish/213372304 2017-12-05 16:23:14 UTC https://padlet.com/rebbd/bsh1ljybhx9j/wish/213372304 5. “My female friend was DM’d through Twitter by the news presenter of our city. He was talking about her beach pictures and how she is really pretty and how they need to get together. He lost his job later that week, mostly because he used the weather channel’s Twitter account.” rebbd https://padlet.com/rebbd/bsh1ljybhx9j/wish/213372727 2017-12-05 16:23:52 UTC https://padlet.com/rebbd/bsh1ljybhx9j/wish/213372727 colemanj11 https://padlet.com/rebbd/bsh1ljybhx9j/wish/213372889 7.  “A former colleague of mine posted about how he was going to use up all his sick leave then quit. He posted it at 9 a.m., and was told he didn’t have a job at 11 a.m.” ]]> 2017-12-05 16:24:09 UTC https://padlet.com/rebbd/bsh1ljybhx9j/wish/213372889 Link: http://people.com/celebrity/employees-who-were-fired-because-of-social-media-posts/ rebbd https://padlet.com/rebbd/bsh1ljybhx9j/wish/213373475 2017-12-05 16:25:07 UTC https://padlet.com/rebbd/bsh1ljybhx9j/wish/213373475 colemanj11 https://padlet.com/rebbd/bsh1ljybhx9j/wish/213374117 8.  “I once didn't get a job since I don’t have Facebook/etc. Apparently they wanted to see the kind of person I was, and I told them I like my privacy.” ]]> 2017-12-05 16:26:05 UTC https://padlet.com/rebbd/bsh1ljybhx9j/wish/213374117 Dearia: I oppose to the idea of being fired because of social media. I say this because work is hard and really tiring and sometimes you just lash out and say things because you're angry. I feel like everybody can relate, and maybe a fair warning should be issued instead. rebbd https://padlet.com/rebbd/bsh1ljybhx9j/wish/213374420 2017-12-05 16:26:32 UTC https://padlet.com/rebbd/bsh1ljybhx9j/wish/213374420 colemanj11 https://padlet.com/rebbd/bsh1ljybhx9j/wish/213375731 9.  “I work in a hospital and there was a police shooting in my area a couple of years ago. Multiple officers were brought into our ER. One officer was DOA and a number of idiot hospital employees posted condolences on their Facebook pages with the name of the officer before the family was officially informed. Seven or eight employees were rightfully fired for that one.”]]> 2017-12-05 16:28:25 UTC https://padlet.com/rebbd/bsh1ljybhx9j/wish/213375731 colemanj11 https://padlet.com/rebbd/bsh1ljybhx9j/wish/213376460 10.  “A prospective employee at the company I work for had just passed his interview, and was told that all he needs to do is pass a drug test and a physical and he would start on Monday. Someone found the new hire on Facebook and the guy had just posted 20 minutes after the interview, ‘S—! Anyone know how to pass a drug test in 24 hours?!'”]]> 2017-12-05 16:29:40 UTC https://padlet.com/rebbd/bsh1ljybhx9j/wish/213376460 colemanj11 https://padlet.com/rebbd/bsh1ljybhx9j/wish/213377560 Jorielle: I also oppose to the idea of being fired because of social media. You can't always trust what you see online, but then bosses go and fire you because of what they think might be going on in a picture.]]> 2017-12-05 16:31:41 UTC https://padlet.com/rebbd/bsh1ljybhx9j/wish/213377560
