A recent intern at Anglo Irish Bank, was fired due to a photo posted on his Facebook.
Kevin Colvin emailed his bosses late in the day of Halloween, letting them know he would not be able to attended work due to a family emergency in New York. When his boss, Paul Davis, received the email the following day he checked his interns Facebook, and what did he find:
Davis responed to his intern with the following message:
“Thanks for letting me know–hope everything is OK in New York. (cool wand)” -ValleyWag.com
Colvin did not really have any family emergency which he needed to be in attendance of, but wanted to party it up on Halloween.
The email thread between Kevin Colvin and his boss Paul Davis are now being emailed around the internet, really hurting Colvin’s online reputation. This is another case of careless postings on Facebook leading to being fired or in other forms of trouble.

It’s like the guy who took time off to “attend the funeral of his grandmother”. Two things were awry about that. (1) His grandmother had died TWICE before, if office records were to be believed, and (2) the “funeral” was actually a big ballgame that was to be played -during office work hours.
It’s also like the people who claim “total disability” and turn up in surveillance film, doing heavy work that required excellent physical condition.
