Careful with what you post, Bosses will listen

Posting on FaceBook has become ubiquitous. Everybody has a profile and tries to gather as many “fiends” as possible. And, it’s not only showing off. It’s also broadening our audience.

One of the things I find more interesting about this embracing of the digital social networking, is how lines are blurring between our personal and professional lifes. As an example, when a co-worker married his gay lover, we found about it through the ceremony photos he posted on FaceBook. Or, a friend of mine who works as a social worker at a school and keeps getting invitation from kids at her school to become friends.

So here there is one more victim of all this mess up we like to call social networking. A girl in the UK, pissed off at her boss vented and insulted him, on a FaceBook status update. But, ops, she forgot that they were FaceBook friends, possible digitally befriended him when things were better. In short, he read the post and what is most ironic; fire her on the spot, on FaceBook. I guess you can call that social networking.
