Nope.In an instance like this, they're being fired for being too stupid to use facebook's privacy tools.

pretty weak reason for firing someoneenjoyed a comment I saw in another one of these threads / on one of these storiesthese employers would never have the thought cross their minds to follow their employees to the pub to see if they discuss their day over drinks

i had a friend just the other day make a comment about work on his FB status, and a coworker ratted him out to his boss. his status was something like "coffee, check; tie, check; happy go-get-em attitude, check; wanting to stab self in the eye with pen, check." his boss then approached him about not having "team spirit" and asked him about the status. he's since removed all of his coworkers from his friends

FUCK, the eagles lost Brian Dawkins???

I would fire them for using "u" in place of the word "you" in a sentence.In this case, I imagine it was done because the thread title was too long, and I'll let it slide.

Only if they're doing it on company time.

this is why i would never put anything compromising on facebook, and is why i've recently changed it to "friends only"

I probably wouldn't fire the guy, but I don't blame the Eagles for doing sohe played with fire, and he got burned]

I'm sure no one gets fired just over a facebook status. It's a convenient excuse to can a low performer.

glad I don't have my real job listed on Facebook
3/10/2009 9:27:22 AM
YES

often times the people that complain about their job a lot in person and on the internet are poor performers at work, so they are probably being fired because its the final strawall the people who complain and no one cares are probably doing a good job, but there is no news there so we never hear about it I might fire a person depending on their performance because poor morale is contagious

It depends. If firing them makes me look bad, then no. If it makes me look good, then hell yes.
