Hey Sunny – Not sure why, but I never saw this come through! The whole thing is crazy, isn’t it? I’m not sure what bothers me more. Her, or her boss venting. Both of them should have been more mature.

First off I dont think anyone should lose there job from venting. Thats just saying that we dont have freedom of speech like we are suppose to. Just because we say we hate our jobs doesnt mean that we dont want to be there. Some of us have to work for a living just keep our house and to take care of our families. Not everyone is rich in this world and can sit on our asses all day and all night long. As far as the boss goes I do not believe that he should have embaressed her like that online. A boss should not swear at any employee I dont care what anyone says. If he wanted to fire her, which I dont think he had the right too, but he should have not done it on facebook where everyone could see that was just plain right dirty. So I would have to say im with the girl on this one. Hold your head up high and just worry about getting a new job and now you know you cant trust your boss.

[...] buddy Richie already tore this chick a new one, so I’ll refrain from spewing how UTTERLY STUPID this was. I’m sure the girl knows that [...]

Wow! If that doesn’t beat all. I don’t know what I’m more surprised about. The fact that she would “friend” her boss and then bad mouth her job, or that her boss would stoop so low as to publicly berate her. I have managed teams of people and I am not one for grand standing. I’ve always told my staff, if you have something to say to or about me, then you tell me in private, not in front of other staff or customers. In this case, depending on her privacy setting (which obviously didn’t disclude her boss) she may have just been letting off steam to friends, friends of friends, or everyone (which is the default setting). In any case… if the boss wanted to show her that he was aware of her public lashing, he should have kept his message short and sweet and said something perhaps like “we can discuss your job duties in person”. The profanity only makes you lose respect for him and diminishes his authority to the other employees. His grand standing technique is not for me. I’ve worked for someone like that and I don’t find it an appealing quality in a manager. They are usually seeking some attention at your expense and it’s wrong no matter how you look at it, and no matter who is in the wrong. ALL communication regarding your job should be dealt with in private, not in a public forum. Just my 2 cents

Hey Katie – Yep, you’ve seen it happen. You’ve witnessed it, yet still many people don’t get it. I feel like all of us in social media know how to use social media, but the folks that casually use social media are the ones in trouble. Maybe I’ll wrote a post about that.

Under the bed it shall go!

I witnessed a situation like this go down at one of my jobs. Yes, people – your employers and co-workers all look you up online. All of them. If there’s something about yourself you don’t want someone, someday to know about you, then the interwebs is not the place for it. Keep it to your diary under your bed.

Hey Brock – Yeah, it appears stories like this have been hot for a while not, and even this picture has been around for a bit. I agree with your point, and thanks for the comment!

This story has been floating around for a good three or four years now. I’m just surprised how often this story keeps popping up. And FYI, it is authentic and good lesson in using discretion and plain common sense when posting online.

Hey Kyle – Yeah, it was pretty damn evident she hated her gig. I didn’t think of that, maybe it was done on purpose?

I hope you’re right, but some folks never learn. Ehh, you know what? I hope she didn’t learn, it’s much more fun for all of us.

Thanks for the comment!
