| 0:00.0 | When did you get into Deep Doodoo for something you posted online? |
| 0:05.0 | I worked at EA a couple of years back and saw a co-worker get fired for posting pics, |
| 0:10.0 | and a video, if I recall, of the latest battlefield on Reddit, a major breach of the NDA. |
| 0:16.0 | They were threatening legal action, but decided against it. |
| 0:20.0 | Still, lost his job over it. It surprises |
| 0:22.5 | me how people will just sign things and not read them. I started a job last April at a large |
| 0:27.9 | corporation. One of the things I signed said I read through and understand the handbook, |
| 0:32.7 | which is a 40-page manual. I told my boss I'd like to read through before signing it. In it, it very clearly |
| 0:38.3 | goes over the NDA, like I'm not allowed to admit to working for my company on any site, |
| 0:43.4 | anon or not. I can't post anything about work on any social media. Like if I said something like |
| 0:48.7 | moving tables at work today in my restaurant job with an NDA, in theory I could get fired. |
| 0:56.6 | My friend and ex-co worker got fired from Guitar Center for doing an Ask Me Anything about working there. I posted a picture |
| 1:03.0 | of a funny note at work a while back under a different username. It got tons of upvotes, |
| 1:08.1 | but the paper was on top of something confidential. Some jerk Redditor |
| 1:12.0 | decided it would be funny to enhance it and sent me a message letting me know he knew who I was |
| 1:17.1 | and where I worked. I deleted the post, deleted that username, and started fresh with little |
| 1:22.1 | to know information of my job or where I work, because that freaked me out. Remember that guy who got fired from Google? |
| 1:29.3 | Was it the one where the guy was excited for his first day and posted a picture of his uniform and got fired immediately? |
| 1:34.3 | Well, he did sign an NDA, which he violated. |
| 1:39.3 | I don't know if I'd call it trouble, but someone was able to figure out who I was. I've posted my |
| 1:45.0 | picture on Reddit before, as well as details about the city where I live, but nothing else. |
| 1:49.4 | They Facebook messaged me and threatened to come after me because they didn't like something I said. |
