So I came across this story that made me have a "what were they thinking?" moment. A Connecticut woman was fired for calling her boss a "dick" on her Facebook. People need to realize that people need to be careful with what they say online. What you say is out there for everyone to see and employers constantly are monitoring employees actions on the sites.
For the whole story:

As I said in class, "People actually have to be told this stuff???" If they don't have enough brains to know what not to post, perhaps they deserve to be fired. Let the employer find a smarter employee!
It's hard to draw the line of how open you are online. Almost anyone can see what you say, but you want to express yourself. Obviously, employee made a mistake..but she still has the right to express her opinion.
