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.
