I agree completely that it's their own fault. I wasn't stupid enough to join it.
Yeah see what I mean? That's just stupid. I would never, ever do something like that, it's just stupid and asking to be fired or something.

Of course it is. I understand that some people feel you should have the freedom of expression to be able to put whatever you want on FB without it being anyone else's business but publically insulting the company that pays your wages? Use your head.

My mother works at a nursing home, and apparently they fired a girl who worked there over Facebook. The girl apparently went home from work and updated her status to say, "I hate old people! Ugh!"

Which I assume is something that nursing home employers consider a negative trait in an employee.

She could have had a bad day and just wanted to vent.

There are times I love my job & other times I hate it. And if I do hate it I don't see the harm in letting off a bit of steam once in a while.

Which is one reason i'm not stupid enough to get a facebook with my boss & work colleagues added to it.

Don't be fooled, the supervisor who fired her probably thinks the same thing.

Well yeah, i'm sure everyone slags off their job every now and then at least. Thats exactly what seperates you from the idiots when it comes to this kind of thing though. You dont have a Facebook or you dont put things such as this on there when you know the bosses are watching.

Basically, if you have a Facebook and you have people from work added to it and dont use privacy settings then you may as well go and say this stuff to the bosses face and see what happens then. It's the same thing.

I haven't updated my FB status in over a month. I only post it when I have something useless to say, everything else I keep to my self. I don't like half the people on my facebook anyway, I don't want them knowing my business. I get mad when my ladyfriend posts about me on hers.

Oh I wasn't saying it was anyone elses fault other than their own, hence "silly rabbit" at the end of the statement I made. It's ridiculous how thick people can be.

I just don't bother even speaking of work in any manner on my Facebook. I barely even update my status, generally my status will be a quote or some lyrics.

Oh man I hate that. I got into many an argument over that kind of stuff. Girls already love to tell their girlfriends every little problem or anecdote about their relationship...it gets even worse when it starts to go on facebook. My ex used to post crap like "Chris is being such an ass hole right now!" and then it gets liked 20 times and then you get like 10 useless comments on courses of action she should take about it. People thought I was the biggest douche when usually all I did was I didn't let her watch Center Stage.

Agreed on how annoying that is. My ex done it a lot about me on her Facebook and I must've been portrayed as being such a dick. Mainly over stupid arguments but she'd make me seem a lot worse than I was and they'd never hear my side of the argument where she was being a bitch.
