I am almost positive everyone has heard of the Harlem shake. In this case a bunch of mine workers performed the Harlem shake on video, not expecting to be fired for it. The video was posted on you tube which was than seen by the company. All of the men were fired! It just goes to show how you can be fired over social media by not only posting inappropriate comments or hate about the company you work for, but by simply posting anything the relates back to your job. Be careful, because what you do in the workplace will always end up all over social media, and could result in a loss of jobs.
Although social media wasn't the real reason for the firing, I'm sure if the video was kept a secret between workers and not shown to the world, the company would have not had access to it. And social media sites were encouraging people to post their outrageous Harlem shake videos( the real cause for firing was safety violations) Here is a link to the website: News Article
I heard about this video and I also thought it was very interesting; fired because of a video posting at work or while working. Makes me think twice before posting something on Facebook or other social media sites.
