it's a copypasta

seen it tons before

I figured as much.

They could have at least gotten my name right.

I suspected our views on things were a little TOO compatible Jaden 🔫 , or should i say, Frost Wallmart!!

Foiled again!

I'll get you next time O Magoo!!

**NEXT TIME!!**

So damn glad I never bought in to Facebook Messenger. I still, reluctantly, have a facebook profile. :\

I deleted my facebook a long time ago.

I basically HAVE to have a facebook profile. :/

Family/job?

Starting a business.

a media business.

Oh.

Yeah.

R.I.P.

I wonder if there will come a time, if it isn't already here, where not having any social media accounts to spy on will be a 'red flag' to employers.

I mean... maybe?

"No facebook, no twitter... oh, but he has a Gab account? Well then... *next!*"

I've always valued internet anonymity.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it gets to that point.

Yeah, we do, but there's a new trend arising of watching people's other/out-of-work activities. I remember back when this kind of thing first started when someone I know got fired from Subway for comments she made while off-duty *about* Subway.

I mean, that qualifies as a conflict of interests

*Everyone* complains about their job at one point or another, though.

Some employers do include disparagement clauses, as well.

Well, sure.

Even if it's in passing.

The thing is, with social media, we've been toying with something that's EXTREMELY powerful, and yet we've been taking it for granted.

We don't really think about it, but when we post something on Twitter, or on Facebook, we've basically got the same potential as an advertiser does.

That's the difference between posting stuff on social media and saying something with a group of friends.

If that guy at Subway got a private text he sent to a friend, and fired them over that text

or a recorded conversation bitching about work

and got fired over that

100% in the guy's corner

but when you post something on Facebook

You've sent a message into the ether, and you no longer control it.

Someone could share it, and then it's gone.

I understand that, but it still sets a precedent.

I mean, yeah, it does, but Subway, the franchise owner, the district manager, the store manager - they're all required to protect their brand, and someone complaining specifically about Subway when they're paid by them, on social media where the wrong thing could take off beyond even the poster's control, It's a conflict of interest and a risk of brand deprecation.

I 100% understand why they did it. We're playing with powerful toys when it comes to social media.
