Woman’s Facebook Post Gets Her Fired Before She Even Starts New Job
When will people ever learn that you should never let your emotions get the best of you on social media?
It's so hard to have sympathy for anyone who loses a job because of something stupid they posted on their Facebook or Twitter news feed; especially if it what they said is about their job. I can, however, empathize. We've all been there, whether it's an annoying co-worker , a horrible boss or a crazy customer; but I think we've all quickly learned from others people's social media blunders that comments about those things are best to kept to ourselves.
Unfortunately for 27-year-old, single mom, Kaitlyn Walls, she didn't get the memo that you don't vent about your job or a potential employer on social media.
Walls just landed a job at a daycare center and she was fired before she even walked through the doors for her first day of work - for posting about how much she hates working with children on her Facebook page. She said, "I start my new job today, but I absolutely hate working at day care." The daycare caught wind of her comments and told her to not bother coming in.
Sadly, Walls really needed this job. She's a single mom who's trying to get out on her own and now she feels like a failure; having to comfort her crying daughter who's sad that she might not be able to get a job. To add insult to injury, Walls got slammed on social media by not just her own Facebook friends, but her post made it's way to a yard sale group; where strangers hurled insult after insult.
Walls later stated on her Facebook page that she made a big mistake and hopefully she learned an important lesson; one that we can all learn from- just because Facebook is free, it doesn't mean you won't pay a price for the stupid stuff you put on there.
