Morons and Facebook
There are privacy issues around this one, and an ethical debate to be had about whether or not bosses should be spying on employees via Facebook. However, I will say this: if your boss on Facebook, then try to be a bit careful, eh? Rather than a total fucking moron:
Kyle Doyle, 21, is currently facing an internal investigation after he called in sick for work then updated his Facebook status bar to read: 'Kyle Doyle is not going to work ... I'm still trashed. SICKIE WOO!'.Yep, there's not real benefit to being a twat. And particularly then rubbing salt in the wound, as this young fella did when his boss rumbled him:Unfortunately for Doyle his boss was also a friend on Facebook and saw the incriminating status report.
The manager then revealed that he had seen the Facebook message and said the day off would not be granted. "HAHAHA LMAO epic fail. No worries man," was Doyles response.It is unfortunate that this man's manager used Facebook to spy on him. It is also unfortunate that Doyle decided to behave in the same way as a 15 year old school kid who has just discovered both Facebook and cider. There does need to be a wider debate about how bosses should use things like Facebook; until that is put to bed, let's try not to total fuckwits, eh?

Actually I see no privacy issue, he put up a message for his friends list (and possibly any drive by viewer) to see boasting how he's pulled a sickie.
It's Darwin in action nothing more, if you don't want your boss to know what you were doing and how you're abusing the system keep your trap shut.
Yep, the more I think about the more I realise this guy was just fucking dumb. There is a debate to be had around this sort of issue - however, this sort of cretin highlights the problems with basic intelligence rather than with privacy.
