How Social Media Effects Our Employment.

Following the skype session earlier in the week, I have been playing around typing various things into Google (what would we do without this??) to see what might come up. I found a number of articles based on people who had lost their jobs through posts they had put on social media. Some of these are shocking and I am in no way surprised they lost their jobs if they were silly enough to publicly announce their actions. However, some I found shocked me as they just looked like normal people on a night out having fun, nothing illegal, nothing harmful or offensive in their posts at all.

Here are a few of the articles I found...
