Lisa Fary's earliest influences are Princess Leia, Rainbow Bright, Astronaut Barbie, and her 6th grade teacher, Ms. Palmer. She's angry that it's 2011 and she still doesn't have a hovercraft, but will accept a jetpack as consolation. That jetpack had better be pink with a rhinestone monogram. 7 Comments

You are so entertaining you did not get that from me!
Couldn't agree more with your post!
haha lisa, i love this entry. i completely agree, and as someone who has looked for employment for the last year, i've definitely had to be extra careful with all the (drunken) pictures my friends post.
Would it be nice that someday your employer saw your wild side and would say "Hey, guess you guys have fun last Friday night, how was it?" Until this day comes, employers would still think that social sites are your http://www.theresumebuilder.net/” target=”_blank”>resume wizard and something that could end badly. I couldn't said it any better Lisa, if you don't want to get fired, don't post it.
One friend of mine is so paranoid about her employers finding "unseemly" pictures of her on MySpace or Facebook that she loudly and repeatedly requested that no one take pictures of her at another friend's bachelorette party. There was lingerie and an array of sex toys (kinda like a Tupperware party situation) and everyone brought a bottle of wine for sampling, but it wasn't a Roman orgy or anything. We were a relatively sedate bunch, all things considered. Yet she checked for lurking cameras every time a sample product came her way to be passed on. It made kind of sad, actually.

I believe a conversation between employer and employee about social media should occur only when it becomes a workplace issue. Are clients being lost? Is the brand or company name being damaged? Is social media interfering with job performance? If the answer to all of these is all "no," then there is no issue.
