Sometimes your terms of employment include an agreement about your conduct on social media under your own name and if you violate it, that’s on you! So you should read that thing carefully and be aware of what you’re doing. It’s why all my social media accounts are anonymous and I don’t disclose my employer or talk in detail about my work.

If it’s not in writing though and you didn’t sign your name to anything, firing you for what you post is a bunch of nonsense.

Some employment agencies also often check social media for job applicants, and bin any CVs for people with social media that have "inappropriate" content.

Sometimes there is no way to know how your media feed is impacting your life, whether positively or negatively.

A friend of mine was rejected for a job because she had a post that said

“Trust me, you can dance. Vodka” on her FB page. I sent her a sign that said this for her new office when she got an even better job.

I got a wedding present from a client - yes, a client - that says - “domestic bliss is only one wine bottle away.” Some people are too uptight.
