What do you think about people losing their jobs for what they post on social media or losing their jobs for what they do in their free time? Do you see a problem with that or is it their responsibility to make sure they have a clean public image?
It doesn't matter what I think. What I think and what I do are 2 different things. I think people shouldn't do dumbass things on line and still expect to have a job-and when I say dumbass I mean call in sick but post otherwise etc etc, I mean come on, those sort of things are common sense.
What matters is what my company thinks or my boss thinks. Do I think it is right? Not neccesarily, but it is the way it is right now, so I take measures not to do or say stupid stuff that could get me fired.
I think it is unethical for people to look up one's social media before one gets hired and I studied about this subject in business law class. It is very interesting the number of people who do not know that this is unethical. Current resume trends are suggesting that one put on their resume social media information such as twitter accounts-that is bullshit. Unless one's job is to post on social media or be a public figure there is no place for that on a professional resume.
