After the fallout from the Cisco Fatty Incident, more and more people have become aware that what you post online can be found by your employer (or potential employers) in addition to your friends, family and contacts.

So it goes without saying that I don’t have to remind you (AGAIN) to be careful about what you post on social networking sites.

However, just in case it isn’t already crystal clear, I’d like to direct you to Social Media Pitfalls, an article on CareerBuilder that gives excellent examples of how careless social networking got people in trouble at work.

Included are stories about people fired over Facecbook posts, terrible job related Tweets, and the aforementioned Cisco Fatty Incident. It’s just a sampling of how people can ruin their employment situation through bad networking decisions.

Consider this a public service announcement from Gradversity. You’re welcome.
