Girl sacked for comments on Facebook

A girl was sacked from a marketing company for comments she posted on her Facebook site about the job. She wrote on her site that her job was "boring" and although she never mentioned her employers by name, she was called into the office and sacked for the comments made on a public site. As you probably know, you can only read someone's comments if you have signed up as one of their official Facebook friends. In this case, she had asked her new colleagues to sign up. It was them that reported her! 

Because she had only been in the job 3 weeks, she couldn't claim unfair dismissal. Lawyers talking about the case have said that employees should take note - if you "slag off" your employer outside the workplace, there will be consequences and that could include dismissal.
