Can Facebook Really Help to Get You Fired?
posted by kgonzalez
Since one of my favorite topics is social networking, I found an interesting slideshow to share with you. Many of you use social networking as a way to be in touch with your clients. At the same time, many of us use it in our personal lives as well. It goes without saying nowadays that our personal lives can be easily displayed to the world thanks to the Internet. It’s all about being somewhat Internet savvy and using some common sense when posting anything about our lives.
I found the following slideshow through Marketing Profs: Five Ways Facebook Can Get You Fired. Paul Dunay, Global Managing Director of Services & Social Media at Avaya, put these five stories together to show how seemingly innocent comments can cost one their job. A couple of these made me laugh as they were just outright ridiculous (actually they were all silly), but the unfortunate thing is that they are true. I encourage you to share this with everyone you know! Enjoy these and have a great weekend!
