I’ve heard many things that would surprise you about what employees say and do to their bosses, especially after work hours. I had a friend once tell me that they were at a bar where this person was telling this tale about how he continued to sabotage his boss at work and that it was irrevocably beginning to pay off. When the guy telling the tale mentioned where he worked, it wasn’t too long until it got back to me.
Yes, HR people have friends.
But this is beyond stupid. Ranting about your boss on Facebook when he is together with you on there? Check out this tale:
A British woman is regretting adding her boss on Facebook, after she was publicly fired on the social networking site for defaming her employer.
The woman, whose identity was blacked out on internet blog Applicant, reportedly vented her frustrations about her boss and workplace on her Facebook status.
After posting “OMG I Despise MY JOB!! My boss is a total pervvy (sic) wanker always making me do sh*t stuff just to piss me off!! WANKER!” she was immediately fired by her boss.
Look, you despise your job. Fine. Out of all people, I know what that is like. All gets into that situation at some top in their go. But you wouldn’t say that in a room full of people that happened to have your boss in it, right? Right?
Well, that’s how we have to reckon about social networking now. This is the real deal folks. If you are going to include your boss on your Facebook page, you are going to have to act like you are at worked.
Maybe extra casual Friday at work but work nonetheless.
