We've heard of the job applicant who misses out because
their face is all over Facebook in embarrassing positions.
Similarly there's the worker who Twitters what a great time
they're having at the cricket when they're on a sickie.
Then there's the blogger who's spotted writing how much
they hate their boss.
The dangers of social media in the work place are well
documented. But now comes a warning that even the benign career
networking site LinkedIn can land workers in hot water.
A Canberra interior designer was sacked from his day job when
his boss found he was using LinkedIn to connect to potential
clients for his small out-of-hours business. The designer was fired
after he sent a group email via LinkedIn saying he planned to
expand his fledgling business to a full time design practice.
