In this recent video you see another reason appear for getting fired from basic. Aside for the typical ‘inappropriate’ picture fire, a 16-year old girl from Essex, England was recently fired after her boss saw her Facebook status after her first day of on the job. It read:

first day at work. omg!! So dull!!

Her boss felt that if she was so bored on the first day of work, it would not be a good fit in the long run.

An underlying story in the firing is the close notice kept on the girls Facebook page by the boss. Facebook and other social networking sites are being used more often by employees as a tool for background checking, but the notice of a status update after the first day of work may be a little to much attention by this middle-aged male.

In a recent story at Slippery Rock University, pictures posted on a track runners Facebook could lead to suspensions for her and teammates. During a tournament which took place over spring break, Tiffany Tedesco, a 19 year old freshman, posted pictures of her and teammates drinking and having a good time in their hotel room.

SRU, like many colleges and universities today, have several rules pertaining to student-athletes social network posting. The SRU Athletic Departments policy on online social networks states that, the posting of “incriminating photos or statements depicting hazing, sexual harassment, vandalism, stalking, underage drinking, illegal drug use or other inappropriate behavior will be subject to disciplinary action by the Head Coach and/or Director of Athletics if they gain knowledge of such violations.”

Paul Lueken, SRU’s athletic director said the students will be punished based on the departments three strike policy. The three strike policy was put into place for athletes who miss a percentage of games or practices or are in any other violations will be kicked out.

“The players found to be involved will be suspended from the Maryland Invitational (on) March 29,” Lueken said. “Those involved will also be receiving a strike, and after three strikes, they are out.”

Tiffany said she posted the pictures without looking through them, and removed them immediately after noticing that some pictures were inappropriate.

“I forgot to look at the pictures before I posted them,” Tedesco said Wednesday afternoon. “It was a mistake and I’m deleting them.”

The pictures depict over 8 members of the men’s and women’s track team, all of whom may receive punishment for the pictures.
