Like many teens, Kimberley Swann has a Facebook account. And like many teens, she also has a boring job which she often complained about. Her first mistake was writing up some of those complaints on her Facebook page.
Her second mistake was adding some of her new co-workers in as "friends", allowing them access to everything she had written. Apparently at least one of these co-workers found it necessary to pass on some of her comments to their boss, Stephen Ivell. And apparently Ivell didn't find her comments from her "first day at work. omg !! So dull" to other remarks about the menial tasks she was given, good reading.
Swann was called into Ivell's office where she was told, "'I have seen your comments on Facebook and I don't want my company being in the news." She was told it was not good for the company, fired and escorted from the premises in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex.
Swann is upset and as only a 16 year can, complained: "I just put that my job was boring. They were just being nosy, going through everything. I think it is really sad, it makes them look stupid that they are going to be so petty.
Right or wrong, it has, and will continue to happen over and over. I always tell my kids that if they wouldn't want something plastered on the front page of our local paper, they should NOT write it on a social website! I can only hope it is something that sticks and they learn to think before they write. But sadly, I doubt that my kids (or Kimberley Swann) would think for a minute that writing how dull their jobs are would get them in trouble, let alone cause them to lose their job but, obviously it can.
Snitch a-s co-workersOne of the main reasons why Idon't add random people who friend request me.
I think i wrote on one of my coworker's wall saying F my boss....good thing we both don't likeher.
