Just ran across a recent post called, “Don’t let Facebook cost you a job.” The author shared stories of real people who lost their jobs because they posted complaints on Facebook. Read the story here.
These people thought they were being careful. They didn’t name names. They didn’t even name companies. But their own names were posted and (big surprise!) their bosses were on Facebook.
The article could have gone on to show how the damage doesn’t stop with your current job. Your future boss googles your name, sees your complaint, and labels you as whiny (or worse). Not good.
By the way, if you really do hate your job, I’ve got a book for you! Check this out.
