6 Facebook mistakes that can get you fired! These seem pretty obvious to me (and most of you too I’m sure) but let’s go through one by one. 1.) Bad-mouthing the company or complaining about your job. DUH! Ok, I'll skip that one. 2.) Defending your employer in an online dispute. Ok. This one I can kind of get. Obviously it is better left to the PR professionals but I can see why it is not immediately obvious to everyone. 3.) Discussing private and/or security-related company matters. Umm yea, no kidding. This one seems to fit right in with the first one. Your boss probably checks your facebook regularly. If your boss and/or your mother would disapprove; don’t post it. You lost NOTHING by keeping your mouth shut. 4.) Disguising your identity and pretending to be someone else. I can understand this one too; I can see the reasonable jump to thinking that if you hide who you are it won’t matter. Obviously I don’t agree, but I can see the connection. 5.) Offering up too much information about your personal life and recreational activities. Less is more people! No one cares if you don’t ever update Facebook. Play it safe and keep your mouth shut. 6.) Posting questionable pictures. Umm yea… photographic evidence that you did something stupid; Let’s show it to the world! Obviously this is a bad idea.
I know we have been over this stuff before but there were a few examples in the article that just amazed me. This is the one that made reading the whole article worthwhile. It may just be a hoax but I thought it was funny anyway.
