I've accepted the fact that Facebook will probably bring about the end of civilization as we know it. Facebook is everything that is wrong with the world. It's amazing how much information people feel the need to post in a public forum. This example is no different and cost a woman her job.

Amy McClenathan posted a status update to Facebook recently that read that she "wished  she could get fired some days, it would be easier to be at home than to go through this." Imagine Amy's surprise when...the very next day...her boss invited her into his office and fired her on the spot. Amy said that the post was actually in reference to having a tough day at work because it was around the anniversary of her mother's passing but her boss didn't seem to care. You asked to be fired...You get fired. Simple.

So, if you're unhappy at your place of employment...It's probably best to just keep it to yourself or, at the very least, keep it to your inner circle. Vent to your friends, vent to your family...But don't vent to a few hundred people you rarely speak to in person on a medium that your boss can easily find. Lesson of the day. I'm here to help.
