I could never understand why people want to expose so much of their personal information on the web anyway. Seems like a problem waiting to happen.

"Retarted," LOL.

Posting here - or anywhere else - is potentially forever. Keep this in mind.

Posting too much online about yourself is stupid, but I don't know why employers think that what you do in your life outside of work is any of their business. It seems creepy to spy on someone else s page.

Everyone's watching me

My friend Sarah got fired from her job due to her facebook status.

boy this sure says something about the eagles organization if that is enough to get a low level employee(who has every right to be a fan with an opinion) fired. I can understand a coach undermining the system...but this guy worked at the stadium? managing tickets or something?
sheesh...

bad_andy · #12 03-09-2009, 10:47 PM

I never post anything to facebook that I wouldn't want literally anyone reading.

mothmonsterman · #13 03-10-2009, 04:03 AM

I had to give a public apology to the entire company after someone found my blogs which were basically "satire" bits about people at the work place. Well some idiot found them, took them seriously printed off about 200 copies and gave them to the rest of the staff and the CEO, the CEO laughed

but I still had to give the apology.
I now block facbook through a content filter and write people up who use it lol.

Once upon a time we had the ability here to delete our posts - at any time. This place changed for me bigtime once that option was no longer available. I think carefully now before posting anything and post about 1/4 of what I used to.

As fer the OP, I'd bet lots that he was fired for something else. The facebook thing must have been the last straw.

I couldn't agree more.

I remember, when I was a kid, me and my friends had always made fun of some other poor kid. We talked how he had an actual list of his friends at home, and he happily adds new names to the list, feeling all

/ brutally erases those he's angry at

. It was hillarious at the time.

And now... everybody has those?

I don't use myspace, facebook nor msn. I (possibly irationally) feel that those are emo, just because of status messages machine gewehr mentioned and the like. How I feel and what I think is for me and my friends only, not thousands of some other people I've never met but are labeled Friends in some web application.

....

<goes afk and adds Machine gewehr to his actual friends list

Honestly, someone who decides to mix professional contacts with TMI statuses deserves just that.

Yes, it is creepy.

People say all kinds of things online that they might not say IRL. And now people can't even feel free about saying something online because Big Brother Boss may be watching. That's not right.

That being said...this guy *was* pretty stupid. Facebook is heavily used by people to promote business contacts. If your friends in FB are your business contacts...err...this is rather like getting drunk at the Christmas party and saying stupid things about your boss.

Cherie...spits in Big Brother's eye every chance she gets...

My cousin and h.s. classmates got me to go to Facebook. It was nice catching up with them, but its nothing to get all excited about. MySpace is better for band promotion, but if I really want to chat with friends, IM or e-mail is better.

And now they have this Twittering thing. So annoying.

Cherie

if only solidarity were a value to be upheld in the work place and unions weren't a bad joke and/or footnote [nowadays in the US]...

If they fired him just for voicing his opinion, that is out of order. I thought that the Americans valued their freedom of speech and such? These people are taking away your freedom. Fight the power people!
