What Happens in Vegas, Goes on Foursquare [PIC]

In: web resources

13 Feb 2010

You’ve probably heard a dozen times now about people getting fired for what they posted on their blogs or their social networks. A web comic from Status THIS makes a good and humorous point that you should be just as careful if not more so with Foursquare’s public location check-ins.

8% of U.S. companies say they’ve fired an employee for unacceptable social media activity. That can be for something like sharing private company information, but it can also be for admitting misconduct — for example, foolishly sending out a tweet saying that you called in “sick” to work in order to play volleyball Tuesday afternoon.

With Foursquare’s check-ins, you can give too much info about your wild nightlife to your boss. Read the comic below and enjoy a little laugh.
