You typically are held accountable for your stupidity at a job. Jacob Send a noteboard - 13/09/2010 09:13:39 PM
nanny-state ftw!!!


If you do stupid things, take pictures of them (another stupid thing), post them on a public social network page (another stupid thing), you have then established a pattern of behavior that employers can take into account. If you've got several qualified applicants, and these days all jobs do, that public information is just another piece of information... especially if that job has any public/social aspect to it.
