Re: Stupid intern gets owned by boss via email
[ QUOTE ]
Furthermore, he is considering suing his boss, as well as the guy who found (and later distributed) the picture on facebook. I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to invasion of privacy laws, but he might have a case here. [/ QUOTE ] So he's gone from probably being an idiot to definitely being an idiot?

pretty easy to make your profile only viewable by friends imo [/ QUOTE ] I think my boss is on my friends list on facebook. I know that some senior people in the company look at what I post on 2 + 2 (I'm on lunch right now!)

What I say in some of the poker related threads could be construed as what PokerStars thinks, not what I think. That's part of the price of my job. The facebook thing - if I ever get into trouble for anything related to that, I would be very annoyed.

Re: Stupid intern gets owned by boss via email
[ QUOTE ]
The following is a cliffsnotes version of a forwarded email I recently received from a coworker. This coworker knows this kid from back in college. The names and pictures have been slightly modified, as I don't want to completely trainwreck this kid. I already feel bad enough for him... "Fred" is currently a senior at a relatively reputable college in the Boston area. He also interns at a large, international firm 2 or 3 days a week. He will receive college credit for the internship, as well as a future job (as long as he doesn't [censored] it up). Fred was scheduled to work early on November 1st. Of course, being the day after Halloween, this simply wouldn't work for a college senior. He decided to email his boss (let's call him "David") the afternoon of the 31st. Fred told David that he wouldn't be able to make it to work the next day, as he had to go home to New York for a family emergency. Fred went out that night, got completely [censored] up, and slept in late the next morning. The afternoon of the 1st, Fred decided to check his email, and found this gem from his boss: "Fred, Thanks for letting us know--hope everything is ok in New York. (cool wand) Cheers, David  "Notice the gay makeup around the eyes. Unbeknownst to Fred, a fellow coworker had checked his facebook page and found this picture from the night before. The picture eventually found it's way to David. Oh, and David cc'ed the entire firm. Fred is currently freaking out. This would probably be my worst nightmare. [/ QUOTE ] I saw it yesterday. Hilarious!

Re: Stupid intern gets owned by boss via email
[ QUOTE ]
do you guys know any stories of bosses looking up info beyond what's publicly available (i.e. snooping around comments for friends who don't work for the company, etc)? to me, that seems over the line. [/ QUOTE ] We check every person that interviews here. If you are putting your life out there in public, and our company is going to become part of your public life - we are certainly going to make sure we're not stepping into a pile of [censored].
