Photoshop some incriminating evidence of your own and start blackmailing everybody in sight.

Get your store manager listenin to oneman on rinse he'll understand.

I think your supervisor is waste. She could easily just have spoken to you and warned you. Just seems really pathetic. sorry man

It is illegal but you can refuse to give a reference which is far worse.

i know man

she could have just said "be careful what you put on facebook" and it would have made me realise that it may not be appropriate!

surely that would be the most logical thing to do

That's harsh man... no one should get fired because of some fb post.

Cue a hundred comments about your avatar going well with whatever you say.

Well whatever happens, best of luck.

I'll be boycotting Argos from now on and I expect my comrades on SNH to do the same

Sounds like you're learning the hard way, I'm sorry to hear that.

If it's any consolation, loads of people have posted shit about their work and have been fired.

Lesson: don't post derogatory shit on the internet because it will bite you in the ass. It's a fucking open book.

Employers are indeed looking at your facebook and anything else they can find on the internet. And people are still posting and twittering things like "I just left home to go shopping" and "My manager's an asshole" and then they are wondering why they got robbed and fired.

Harsh realities of 21st century social networking and culture in general.

exact reason why my name on facebook isn't my real name and that you can't view my profile AND i don't have anyone on facebook from work that i don't trust... too easy to slip up.

then again, i enjoy my job.

been fired a couple of times myself, just shrug it off and get a new job. Make some sick riddims with your time off.. and don't put them on your CV, just fake it

I didn't get fired for taking off without permission for like 5 days (i had submitted my leave form but they had lost it and didn't tell me) - deputy manager said I was fired so i told him go fuck himself and continued on the tour.

Got back and found out he hadn't gotten permission from the general manager to fire me, said i had suffered mental stress from thinking i had been fired and they gave me my job back but i said i felt uncomfortable working with someone who so obviously didn't like me and got paid out 4 weeks and got a good reference :win:

If they fire you, tell that catty supervisor chick that you accidentally defriended her. Get her to accept your friend request, post up one of her pics here in the snho, let the photoshop masters have at her, and then post up and tag her pics in compromising positions with alpacas and whatnot.

The above may be illegal depending on your country of residence and is not recommended under any circumstances.

Post her mobile number on a couple of choice sites and let nature take it's course.
