I used to be a librarian for a few years. Every summer, parent would drop their children off and go to work or whatever else they wanted to do. These kiddos would be unsupervised for over 8 hours. Some of the parent used to drop their kid off before the library was open, and the child had to wait outside until we opened. We would tell them to wait in front of the glass door so we could try and keep an eye on them. One of our custodial service reps told a child, in a respectable manner, to stop running in the library. The mother was told and she came into the library with a knife. The police were called. It ridiculous what some parents are capable of. This is one of the reasons why I found another job.
Unfortunately apparently people do this everywhere i worked in a comics/vintage nerd memorabilia store on a military base and parents would leave their brats for hours sometimes even leaving but i was not allowed to do anything but try and watch them
I read a story on Reddit where a firefighter responded to a fire at a grocery store, and he witnessed a customer not only refuse to evacuate the store, but she was screaming in a manager’s face (the manager of the department _where the fire was_ mind you) because she wanted to shop in that section and couldn’t. OP walked straight up to the woman and yelled “F*** OFF!” in her face because he knew the manager couldn’t do it. The customer actually called OP’s boss and filed against him, but he only got a mild lecture about screaming the f-word at people.
If im not wrong, story 4 had grounds for wrongful termination. he could've filed a lawsuit against gamestop because firing someone for a tweet and a mother's absent behaviour is not proper grounds for termination.

Yes it is. There is only one state in the country that is not an at will employment state. You can be fired for anything. They don’t like your hair, your shoes, your face, whatever. You can also quit for any reason you want The only time you’re going to be able to sue is if it’s discrimination and people using twitter are not a protected class

Companies definitely shouldn’t be able to profit over such stuff and take it out on the employees when they’re denied.
I had an interview for a very good pay job. I passed the test and was approved to receive the job. However, at the orientation it was required that we make a social media page. I told the one orientating that that I will never be a member of a true social media network.

Depending on where you work, your employer getting you in trouble over a social media post is actually illegal and you should definitely report them over that, if they try it. Specially if it's not in a public setting, something like a friends-only Facebook post count as part of your privacy.

Another healthcare instance - i worked at a place where one of the nurses who care for children posted they couldn't believe they had taken care of the child of a guy on a local sports team. She didn't name the team, or the guy, but only one athlete in the area had a child that age who was in the hospital. Even though she didn't name anyone specifically, the patient was still identifiable, so she was fired. And for nurses (and doctors or PTs, or anyone with a license), these things are ethics violations that can get your license revoked and destroy your career.
Oh. I once dealt with .... I'm sure everyone actually involved fr would've known if they already knew. If not, wrygd, stalk the place? I don't confirm ish prob bc I'm not creepy like that 🙄.

Not me but someone I worked with. He had decided he was going to quit after his next shift (he had a couple days off before then). Being a high school kid he thought it would be really funny to make a tiktok with the store's phone number telling people to call and ask about a particular product of ours. It went somewhat viral and the phone was ringing off the hook which really disrupted productivity. It didn't take long to find the video and piece together what happened. He didn't get the chance to quit...
Also, one story from mine but not from getting fired. On the opposite, i was never contracted for the most prettiest and idiotic reasons: "not having social media or active one". Similar to Story 11. YEAH!!! Not been active on social media is considerate a point of content for not getting hired. I literally face palmed and start to think: "I'm better off working myself in what i like before i literally plant a bomb to this people and blew them to bits". And btw! i had social media, only not a type of personal one but one with my artist name instead. I decide to work on my own and said to this type of works: "HAHA! NO!!! my life, my choice, my PRIVACY" For that i make a new account related to that and speak in HR tone all the time. But YOU WONT GET ANYTHING PERSONAL out of me, my ideas, opinions, facts or any other bs that can be user of as emotional blackmail or termination blackmail by exploitative pricks.
Same to me. I don't like social media. I have seen everybody who get deeply involved getting crazy, getting extremist political views, or getting sadder...also, when I used it a little, I have bad luck and someone (I suspect it was a particular person I know) stalked me. I don't want to share my life and privacy.

Not really lose a job, but I have a related story. I live in Israel, and we have mandatory army service- but orthodox Jewish women don't have to serve, since army service may not allow them to keep their religious lifestyle and modesty (before y'all jump in with how it's a petty excuse, many of them volunteer for service or volunteer to help the community in other places like hospitals or schools instead of the army). Anyway, apparently there were multiple cases where women claimed to be orthodox so they wouldn't have to serve; but then the officers checked their Facebook and found pictures in bikinis and stuff like that, so they got caught lying and were forced to enlist.
@@brandendierker5873 I think it kind of makes sense. I mean they are a country perpetually at war. Also looking at some Euro countries that do it makes me think a year of mandatory service might not be a bad thing (obviously aside from those who can’t do it for real reasons). Could also be very handy for natural disasters etc.
Story 4: When I used to work retail, parents would usually leave their children to play in our store, and disappear. After too many incidents, I placed a sign saying if there are any unattended children in the store, police will be called immediately. One mom went up to me and asked if the sign was a joke or serious. I told her it was serious. She didn't believe me, left her kid in the store. I was on the phone to the police within seconds. Police came, took child away. Mom came back FOUR HOURS later, panic set in. I simply handed her a card the police gave me to give to her. The next week, she came back screaming at me, saying she lost custody of the child to her ex-husband because of me. I simply walked up to her, nose to nose, and calmly said, 'Good!', then walked away. She was speechless.

I know this is probably the opposite of what you’re looking for, but I worked for a local tv network for a while. My parents found out, because of social media, that my boss had sexually abused women that had worked for him and they wanted me to resign from the job.
One thing that makes me nervous, is when you do get a job that will fire you over a tweet or a social media post, and will also try to do more damage such as ban you, blackball you from all other stores, or even try to harass you even though that they’ve gotten rid of you they feel that they still need to have their present in your life because you’re wrong them. I don’t me sound extreme, but I still remember back in the day when somebody mouth talk to a manager they not only fired this poor kid. They actually banned him from even getting his check and wouldn’t even let him even being drive-through even his family.
Idk if anyone's talking true story's or attempting to be scary u should see the real.... world then. It's scary out here ... I hafta actually deal w/ them. Not just talk about them 🤦🏻♀️
A lot of these are understandable but that gamestop one makes no sense at all. Unless op didn't describe his tweet to the full extent and it was much harsher. But even then it is still crazy
I got fired because I posted about one of our managers getting arrested for dealing something he shouldn't, it was public knowledge and you can literally search it up, I thought it was just funny.

I now post about it on their media pages and they have me blocked on everything, me and my 12 other profiles lol
My goodness with that last one! If my bosses were that uptight, I would have been fired ages ago for some of my posts! "Phew! Busy day at work today! I'm ready to go home and relax!" Boss: No! You should want to LIVE at your job!!!1

No one wants to work that's why they have to pay you money so you'll do it.

At a bowling alley that I worked at, a group of employees created a Facebook group called "I hate (my name)" to bitch about me. Some of the managers above me joined. They used to use it as a sort of game. The managers would tell me (a sub manager) to enforce some behaviour or other on staff, then run straight to the FB group to see what drama it caused. One of the managers (f) also made lots of comments about my figure and the size of my ass (I am female and was a heavily muscled bodybuilder). Corporate found out, told me about the group, and told me to take a week off. I returned to find they'd fired me, and promoted the female manager and several of the ringleaders in the group.

I was told that I would not be hired as I don't use social media. I found out that the company demands that all employees are to have mutable accounts on each social media platform as they are required to promote the company, to bad mouth anyone who might have something bad to say about the company, and to find new costumers all wail on ones personal time off the clock. A rumor I heard weeks after I was denied the job was that all employees are expected to spend 40+ hours a week on social media unpaid to promote the companies interests which is all very closely tracked by the company.
Almost, so someone edited a social media post of mine with a racist comment and reported it to my employer.. I was called in for a meeting and my boss wasn't angry, so I was confused? He says "so someone reported a comment of yours on a for sale ad in Lybia about a racist statement?" Comepletely blindsided, and confused about the smile I ask "can I see the comment? Because why would I buy ANYTHING from lybia on social media sell posts?" Turns the computer to me and starts dying.. I look and it was soooo horribly edited and sent to my boss to get me fired for telling the poster to post it locally not the other side of the world to scam people.. showing my boss the original comment he was brought to tears, he said "this is a first for me, so take a 30 min break on my dime and get us coffee and we'll write a response to their support team saying it was bogus.. and the social media page is being shutdown bc of this" Talk about sh*tting bricks 🙃
Imagine not getting a job because you don't have your personal life plastered all over social media. "Can't trust you", more like you can't snoop on me.
I liked the story where they were fired for the opposite, for not posting on Facebook much. They were like "we're firing you because we can't spy on you via social media accounts of yours"
Unless the post is about harming a fellow employee or harming the company itself. Then anything else said should be ignored. Most people hate thier jobs that's normal. If someone vents online a our thier job as long as the job isn't named then it should slide. If someone is at a party drinking so what. That's thier personal off work time. Let them alone.

I had a coworker who had a tendinitis flair up because of work. She had posted stating that she was bummed that it flaired up from work tasks. A coworker who was nosy and wasn't friends on socials with the first coworker share post with the owner and got her promptly fired. Nowhere was the name of the business mentioned. Or even that she worked there.
Not me but a couple of agency nurses. They got DNR'd at the hospital I work at because they posted a picture of beer in a patient food fridge and captioned it "Guess where I'm working tonight?" The other agency nurse commented the correct hospital name. They were both told never to return. (Back in the day if a doctor had an alcoholic patient admitted for something other than alcoholism they would order a single beer every evening. This was a patient of one of the older Drs about 15 yrs ago.)
This is why you use a nickname, never post pictures of yourself and don’t share your accounts
I just recently started listening to this channel, but I would like to point out that the fact that you change the color of the text when you are commenting makes things much easier to follow along with so thank you.
When I used to work at Walmart, management would threaten me to fire me if I didn't delete a post about asking customers to stop tossing their garbage bags into the carts. Apparently, it violated some reputation rule. Mind you know, my town claims that Walmart as the "ghetto" Walmart.
yeah they're full of shit
@@tallyikroe2476 Believe what you want then.
@@sergioruizmoreno5247 no I mean the managers are literally bullshitting you with that, like its more common sense then anything else, not a violation
Digital footprint, it’s a thing, be careful of what you post on social media. It doesn’t just get rid of your jobs, it can be used in a trial.
"It cost $0 to be nice to yourself." Good advice
As for the fake id firing, in my state a call to the Alcohol Beverage Commission would have an undercover sting going in no time.
I'll post on Facebook and tag my supervisors! They're pretty chill anyway. And honestly unless someone has hundreds or thousands of followers that use said business, it's not your employers business what you post on your social media accounts.
Not lost a job but she didn't get the job because she was on Paradise Hotel and they found some old clips of her going crazy and screaming at the other contestants. They said they couldn't hire her because what if she screamed like that at the children? It was a job in a kindergarten. She tried explaining that the clips were taken out of context and how they're being treated and asked to act out for reality tv but he didn't know her and couldn't take her word for it. He had to think of the children, so she didn't get the job.
Depending on where you work, your employer getting you in trouble over a social media post is actually illegal and you should definitely report them over that, if they try it. Specially if it's not in a public setting, something like a friends-only Facebook post count as part of your privacy.
No. That’s not a thing
@@crimeandcrafting Yes it is a thing, at least in the states. You have a right to privacy.
@@Mangotropolis you have zero privacy on social media. If that was a thing, you wouldn't have to agree to give up rights to all photos you post, have all your info sold to 3rd party companies for marketing, and have your profile banned at any time
@@patrickm2912 Your employer does not have a right to look at private content that you post. It's a simple concept to understand. :) Private life, none of their business. Defend your rights.
@@Mangotropolis apparently it's not a simple concept. Social media isn't private.
You pulled off that “OHHHH!” at 18:58 too damn well 😂
People should be aware that companies check social media before hirering. It saves them a lot of work sorting out idiots.
18:47 I love the impersonation of people who want to constantly censor or ban things to "protect young eyes".
creator of the channel: thank you so much for coloring your own commentary. such a small change is so helpful to me.
That rash restaurant one could be sued for wrongful termination and neglect.
18:47 top tier voice acting
For the GameStop one, I think the mother threatened to sue them over losing custody of her child over child neglect for leaving them there for two whole hours while a p*dophile was on the loose, claiming it was the employee's fault for her negligence, then about a couple of weeks after firing the employee, the district manager and regional manager were fired by the GameStop higher-ups for falsely terminating someone.
Oh, so CPS actually grew a brain and actually did their jobs.
One of my coworkers actually got fired because of a Facebook post. It was because he said he wanted to burn our store to the ground.
(he wasn't serious, but you know... They couldn't take that lightly)
AItG: Please, take care of yourselves! I don't want to read more stuff like this!
Me: Ok.
AItG: It costs $0 to be nice to youself.
Me: Nevermind.
Story #17 - Yeah, I would have contacted Health & Safety over that. And spread the photos not just on Reddit, but to several news stations. Full scorched earth
The owner should have a specialist in finding out where the rash came from!
Gotta say, I love the way you read these, so voices and add commentary. Good job👍🏻
you should be able to sue the shit out of your job for kicking you out over a social media post💀 people are so ridiculous nowadays
Depends if you're sharing personal info like a lot of these posts
it's US they can fire you at will
@@danielcrafter9349 You know what else is personal info? Your page. I'd ask what the hell they were doing looking at my personal stuff.
I agree with you
@@danielcrafter9349 it's not their business what you post and if they have an issue then they gotta deal with it just like how we gotta take bs at work we don't wanna deal with
Another healthcare instance - i worked at a place where one of the nurses who care for children posted they couldn't believe they had taken care of the child of a guy on a local sports team. She didn't name the team, or the guy, but only one athlete in the area had a child that age who was in the hospital. Even though she didn't name anyone specifically, the patient was still identifiable, so she was fired. And for nurses (and doctors or PTs, or anyone with a license), these things are ethics violations that can get your license revoked and destroy your career.
Oh. I once dealt with .... I'm sure everyone actually involved fr would've known if they already knew. If not, wrygd, stalk the place? I don't confirm ish prob bc I'm not creepy like that 🙄. For all yt comments know I'm just making up sh. Most importantly is prob wtf is she even talking about. Bc I really wouldn't know either. Ps Earnhardt has a s. Pole on his house 🌠. At least according to mtv cribs.
This is why you don't let your job find your social media
Not me but someone I worked with. He had decided he was going to quit after his next shift (he had a couple days off before then). Being a high school kid he thought it would be really funny to make a tiktok with the store's phone number telling people to call and ask about a particular product of ours. It went somewhat viral and the phone was ringing off the hook which really disrupted productivity. It didn't take long to find the video and piece together what happened. He didn't get the chance to quit...
Also, one story from mine but not from getting fired. On the opposite, i was never contracted for the most prettiest and idiotic reasons: "not having social media or active one". Similar to Story 11.
YEAH!!! Not been active on social media is considerate a point of content for not getting hired. I literally face palmed and start to think: "I'm better off working myself in what i like before i literally plant a bomb to this people and blew them to bits". And btw! i had social media, only not a type of personal one but one with my artist name instead. I decide to work on my own and said to this type of works: "HAHA! NO!!! my life, my choice, my PRIVACY"
For that i make a new account related to that and speak in HR tone all the time. But YOU WONT GET ANYTHING PERSONAL out of me, my ideas, opinions, facts or any other bs that can be user of as emotional blackmail or termination blackmail by exploitative pricks.
Same to me. I don't like social media. I have seen everybody who get deeply involved getting crazy, getting extremist political views, or getting sadder...also, when I used it a little, I have bad luck and someone (I suspect it was a particular person I know) stalked me.
I don't want to share my life and privacy.
@@genzi78514 Same here. I only had Whatsapp for contact reasons and i only use for that (like emergencies, calls and contact some stores).
@UnitTrace yeah! that is the other side. I know when they don't want to hire people too, as i been study behave and signs from interviewers as well and pick their words and gestures.
Never add your co-workers to social media until u leave that job 😆 always cover your tracks people!
The best way I can describe my reaction to most of these stories is just Terry from Brooklyn 99 going "Whyyyyy?!!"
Not really lose a job, but I have a related story.
I live in Israel, and we have mandatory army service- but orthodox Jewish women don't have to serve, since army service may not allow them to keep their religious lifestyle and modesty (before y'all jump in with how it's a petty excuse, many of them volunteer for service or volunteer to help the community in other places like hospitals or schools instead of the army).
Anyway, apparently there were multiple cases where women claimed to be orthodox so they wouldn't have to serve; but then the officers checked their Facebook and found pictures in bikinis and stuff like that, so they got caught lying and were forced to enlist.
Mandatory army service seems more imoral than dodging it tbh.
@@brandendierker5873 I think it kind of makes sense. I mean they are a country perpetually at war. Also looking at some Euro countries that do it makes me think a year of mandatory service might not be a bad thing (obviously aside from those who can’t do it for real reasons). Could also be very handy for natural disasters etc.
@@brandendierker5873 it can teach you discipline and make you capable of defending your country if it becomes necessary
@@methatis3013 Army time eliminates Karen tendencies for sure.
@@brandendierker5873 it make sense when israel is at war with a lot of country on many fronts mainly with palestine
Story 4: When I used to work retail, parents would usually leave their children to play in our store, and disappear. After too many incidents, I placed a sign saying if there are any unattended children in the store, police will be called immediately. One mom went up to me and asked if the sign was a joke or serious. I told her it was serious. She didn't believe me, left her kid in the store. I was on the phone to the police within seconds.
Police came, took child away. Mom came back FOUR HOURS later, panic set in. I simply handed her a card the police gave me to give to her.
The next week, she came back screaming at me, saying she lost custody of the child to her ex-husband because of me. I simply walked up to her, nose to nose, and calmly said, 'Good!', then walked away. She was speechless.
Story #20 - Hell, there are _even toys designed for that_ like, if you feel the urge to, why not get something _actually designed for it rather than using random crap?_
It should be federally illegal to fire anyone for non work related things, such as social media posts
thats one reason , why i make my social media accounts private. Plus the company or job dont suppose to require your facebook account to check up on you thats just fcking creepy. Like do they check up on what the boss is doing i am sure they dont.
18:47 Keeps me alive in the pit of unending misery that I now call home.
Story 26 accent is hilarious. Thanks for the laugh!
They can stalk my profile all they want. It's completely private for a reason
The more I watch/listen to these I laugh. The Voice acting at 18:47. Chef's kiss
I know this is probably the opposite of what you’re looking for, but I worked for a local tv network for a while. My parents found out, because of social media, that my boss had sexually abused women that had worked for him and they wanted me to resign from the job.
Story #9 - I have more than enough capacity to rant, but then TH-cam would remove the comment for being violent
One thing that makes me nervous, is when you do get a job that will fire you over a tweet or a social media post, and will also try to do more damage such as ban you, blackball you from all other stores, or even try to harass you even though that they’ve gotten rid of you they feel that they still need to have their present in your life because you’re wrong them. I don’t me sound extreme, but I still remember back in the day when somebody mouth talk to a manager they not only fired this poor kid. They actually banned him from even getting his check and wouldn’t even let him even being drive-through even his family.
That's illegal and he should've called them out on it. I'd be at that drive thru every night, religiously, till I got my check.
I’m loving your voices, you definitely deserve my sub
Holy shit the Starcraft one damn near made me choke on my whiskey. YOU MUST CONTRUCT ADDITIONAL PROFILES
This is why I don’t use social media anymore (with the exception of TH-cam)
Hear, hear. I haven't touched my Facebook in yonks and I would not be caught dead on Twitter, Instagram, Tiktok, etc.
Idk if anyone's talking true story's or attempting to be scary u should see the real.... world then. It's scary out here ... I hafta actually deal w/ them. Not just talk about them 🤦🏻♀️
Some of these stories are "always use a fake name on social media" in a nutshell
Story 3 irritates me, and that's an understatement! Why did that actor dox that poor customer!? I really hope he/she got in serious trouble for that!
"until they both lost their jobs a few weeks later" I wonder why 💀
A lot of these are understandable but that gamestop one makes no sense at all. Unless op didn't describe his tweet to the full extent and it was much harsher. But even then it is still crazy
Story 20 caught me WAY off guard, why would you stick a screwdriver up there?!
I really don't get the whole sounding thing.
It's like starting a sentence with: "I'm not a racist, but..." whatever follows the "but" is going to be something racist.
yeah how dare you stop my child from being abducted
Amber alert???!?!!!!
Story 6 sounds like a swish in the basket for a wrongful dismissal
I got fired because I posted about one of our managers getting arrested for dealing something he shouldn't, it was public knowledge and you can literally search it up, I thought it was just funny. Nope, can't have that.
Ended up going to court and suing for wrongful termination, got a few 100k.
I now post about it on their media pages and they have me blocked on everything, me and my 12 other profiles lol
Half of these are from sociopaths and the other half are from people with strong cases for wrongful termination suits. Fascinating.
My goodness with that last one! If my bosses were that uptight, I would have been fired ages ago for some of my posts!
"Phew! Busy day at work today! I'm ready to go home and relax!"
Boss: No! You should want to LIVE at your job!!!1
Just before I quit my last job I basically got lectured about how happy I was when I left work everyday.
Wasn't the worse job, not the best, but I kept thinking WTF? Do managers just pretend they live only to work? Or is there life outside of work so bad that work is there safe place? I don't get it.
No one wants to work that's why they have to pay you money so you'll do it.
@@lunaticbz3594 Your ex-boss might have had a Puritan in their family. JSYK, Puritanism is a sect of Christianity where everything fun and entertaining is sinful.
13:36 "It was a Phillips! OMG, why is that so important to everyone?" 🤣
But yeah, it's probably because Standard screwdrivers have those two pointy little corners which will absolutely rip up the lining of your meaty little urethra. Not that Phillips heads are much safer, of course. Just buy a medically approved urethral sound from one of those "adult toy" sites; I don't see the joy in doing that, but sounds are made for that specific purpose!
So, the GameStop guy got fired because a negligent mom complained to some spineless manager about being called out on her negligence.
I have my own story but it's a bit different. My dad, Jay and his friends Ryan and Mike wanted to join a brand company for their band and the brand they went for had a CEO who got exposed for something idk what and my dad and his friends didn't want to be associated to him anymore. Then, Ryan, the Acoholic and smoker make a fake document from a lawyer saying that they quit and stuff and to not contact as a restraining order is in effect. Safe to say the guy never contacted them again. But the band broke up after Mike wanted to go backpacking.
remember a story where someone got a nasa entry level job and a guy said language he turned out to be an important member of nasa and nasa read the tweets of the person and they got fired or smth like that
Me too. I think he was mad I wasn't the transgendered kind or something
As a disabled person with little will to live im fhe first place or ability to survive in an apocalypse, I'd say humanely and quickly unalive me at the beginning and use what bits of my body they could - just no organ transplants because I don't have enough info to know if they'd harm someone else.
But every disabled person, and every person period - should get to make that choice for themselves. It's up to the individual to choose whether they want to try to survive or not.
18:47 is just the bestt ahaha 🤣🤣
The Gamestop one is preposterous....
Right?!? The employee did everything right and yet lost their job!
@@althealee9375 This is because the "costumer always right" BS, and managers and corporate licks all kind of asses for clients to stay, even if has to put workers on the line of fire. Even more as OP wasn't paid for a daycare at all and speak the truth.
At a bowling alley that I worked at, a group of employees created a Facebook group called "I hate (my name)" to bitch about me. Some of the managers above me joined. They used to use it as a sort of game. The managers would tell me (a sub manager) to enforce some behaviour or other on staff, then run straight to the FB group to see what drama it caused. One of the managers (f) also made lots of comments about my figure and the size of my ass (I am female and was a heavily muscled bodybuilder).
Corporate found out, told me about the group, and told me to take a week off. I returned to find they'd fired me, and promoted the female manager and several of the ringleaders in the group. Made sense for them to get rid of one person Vs firing a dozen people, but that doesn't make it right.
That sound like grounds for wrongful termination... How's that bowling alley doing now?
@@siphonicwheat167 it's been taken over by another company. The female manager who bullied me the most is now the general manager. The guy who ran the Facebook group is now a manager. A lot of the other staff have changed. I think the techs are the same crew. No idea how it's doing financially.
I got a job in a different industry. I didn't want to take on a multi million pound company. Ended up earning nearly twice my previous wage though
I did flooring maintenance all over town. We had been working at the science center all week and I posted something about being tired of seeing the science center. Years later, we get a contract for the FBI office. They need background screening and this post had been flagged for terroristic threatening. Took a little while to sort out, but I found out I was on the watchlist for a couple years for that.
Former security guard who worked under a police department at a college. Some guys from another shift made a Facebook post of smoking weed (then illegal) in a bong, on a public profile, with others from their shift. They all were fired when they showed up at their shift.
This always gets me giggling, I love the funny commentary
I had a nda with my former🎉 employer, and got fired bc my spouse said online about how he didn’t think my former didn’t care about the employees safely during (the beginning) of Covid
Had a friend from high school who got fired from his server position because he shamed a customer for not tipping (he posted a pic of the receipt with their name). He didn’t seem too broken up about losing his job though.
"You must construct additional profiles"
"We require more discreditable posts"

13:42 i think this is reference to the doctors and nurses of Reddit what is something that you have to explain to a patient that you thought was common sense? Episode
I was told that I would not be hired as I don't use social media. I found out that the company demands that all employees are to have mutable accounts on each social media platform as they are required to promote the company, to bad mouth anyone who might have something bad to say about the company, and to find new costumers all wail on ones personal time off the clock. A rumor I heard weeks after I was denied the job was that all employees are expected to spend 40+ hours a week on social media unpaid to promote the companies interests which is all very closely tracked by the company.
19:00 that "OHHHH" and everything else he said there was funny
Almost, so someone edited a social media post of mine with a racist comment and reported it to my employer.. I was called in for a meeting and my boss wasn't angry, so I was confused? He says "so someone reported a comment of yours on a for sale ad in Lybia about a racist statement?" Comepletely blindsided, and confused about the smile I ask "can I see the comment? Because why would I buy ANYTHING from lybia on social media sell posts?"
Turns the computer to me and starts dying.. I look and it was soooo horribly edited and sent to my boss to get me fired for telling the poster to post it locally not the other side of the world to scam people.. showing my boss the original comment he was brought to tears, he said "this is a first for me, so take a 30 min break on my dime and get us coffee and we'll write a response to their support team saying it was bogus.. and the social media page is being shutdown bc of this"
Talk about sh*tting bricks 🙃
I have the perfect way to not get caught posting dumb stuff on Facebook. Simply by not being on that soul-sucking void.
5:47 That guy was immediately hired by paradox right after this incident.
Imagine not getting a job because you don't have your personal life plastered all over social media. "Can't trust you", more like you can't snoop on me.

Never tell your coworkers or employers your Social Media accounts or have a Username Similar to your real name.!
I liked the story where they were fired for the opposite, for not posting on Facebook much. They were like "we're firing you because we can't spy on you via social media accounts of yours"
I love your voice acting!
Unless the post is about harming a fellow employee or harming the company itself. Then anything else said should be ignored. Most people hate thier jobs that's normal. If someone vents online a our thier job as long as the job isn't named then it should slide. If someone is at a party drinking so what. That's thier personal off work time. Let them alone.
26th story, such funny voice acting. good job :D
