This is an I-Heart podcast.

0:02.5

Guaranteed Human.

0:04.1

I ran out of holidays from work and got the option of a last-minute holiday, so I called in sick

0:10.5

for five days.

0:12.2

Lots of people do this.

0:13.1

So I mean, not an issue, right?

0:14.5

Well, I'm not linked to anyone at work on Facebook, but it turns out one of my friends

0:19.8

is.

0:20.8

And my manager has now seen posts with pictures of me on holiday.

0:26.8

You snitched on yourself.

0:28.3

You snitched on yourself.

0:28.5

You don't post pictures of you doing illegal things.

0:31.0

I know she's seen them because she's made a comment, but I don't know what if anything

0:37.3

she's going to do, like commented on the

0:38.9

Facebook, like, people where are you? Come back at work. Looking good. About to be fired.

0:44.8

And Johnson account is going, hey, wire. Can she do anything? Probably fire you, but there are

0:50.2

some relevant comments and some juicy updates. But that's the first. Can she do anything? John, what do you think? I think you just be like, listen, I wanted a vacation. You guys won't give it to me. So that's that. What's the damage? The damage is the time that the company paid that O.P for the time off. Did the earth separate and did all of our clients revolt against us and batten our doors down fall down of the office? No, it's probably fun. That's what I'm saying. No harm, no foul. Well, relevant comments to OPE. Okay. Can they use Facebook as evidence? I thought companies couldn't use personal social media posts. Oh. I know it's wrong. It just didn't seem as serious as this. I was a bit anxious before when

1:28.5

she made the comment but wasn't expecting to be sacked. People at our place only get sacked for

1:33.8

things like fraud or serious safety. What can I do? And since I posted, all the response seemed to think

1:40.4

I will be sack, which to be honest, I hadn't really expected because I didn't think they could use Facebook. If it's on Facebook, it's not illegal, right? I'm not sure if my manager will do this, but I'm now really worried. Can anyone advise me on what to do? And there is an update. But yeah, that's her little relevant comment section. I feel like they can probably use that against you. Bro, if like, all right, there's been so many cases where someone does something crazy.

2:04.5

The video goes viral. Everyone sees it on Facebook and your company's like, yo, I don't want

2:08.7

that. Yes. I'm my company. Yes. Get out of you. Exactly. And you get fired. Yeah. So yeah.
