5 Ways Social Media Can Get You Fired
1. Sick Days
For a heavy social media user it may be difficult to put off updating your status for a day. This is when many employees can get blindsided. If you have called out sick from work and you are not really sick do not post about all the fun you are having on your “day off.” Employers are finding it very easy to keep an eye on their employees’ social media accounts.
2. Working Hours
During work hours, it is expected that you fulfill your job duties, regardless of how many great YouTube videos you are dying to see. Try using a YouTube downloader so you can save videos to watch after working hours. Playing around on social media while you are “on the clock” can get you into a serious heap of trouble.
3. I Hate my Job!
It is important to remember that even when you are off the clock you are expected to hold a certain level of professionalism in your everyday life. Many people like to vent about their job to their friends but a few complaints at the bar is much different than posting how much you dislike your employer or company on an internet website.
4. Stay Classy
Everybody is different and entitled to their own personal beliefs and opinions. Be respectful in your everyday life and make sure you stay away from posting anything that employers might find inappropriate like prejudiced comments, nudity, being overly intoxicated, or gore.
5. Caught Red-Handed
Although it may seem intuitive to most, do not post about engaging in illegal activity. Posting comments, pictures or videos of you engaging in illegal activity is not only a sure fire way to get fired but could potentially get you in trouble with the law.
Remember
1. Do not post on social media when you have called out sick, unless it’s about filling your prescription.
2. Do not post on social media while you are at work.
3. Do not post negative things about your work on any social media.
4. Do not post anything anyone might find inappropriate.
5. Do not post videos, or make posts about you engaging in illegal activity.
