Woman posts disrespectful photo of herself at Arlington

Takeda Shingen · 11-21-12, 02:53 PM

I think the big thing to take away from this is something I bring up to my students from time to time when dispensing advice. If you post something on Facebook or Twitter, you must assume that everyone will read it. This includes not only family and friends but also employers and prospective employers. As such anything with images of yourself doing stupid things is very likely to be seen by them. While you may not care about your public image, your employer certainly care about their's, and does not seek to affiliate itself with people who post such material, as it reflects poorly upon the company/organization/school district/etc.

In short, keep your racy photos and pictures of yourself doing keg stands off your accounts. It will invariably come back to bite you.

Well I'd certainly be questioning her mentality level and suitability for working with people who have special needs.

Perhaps we should send her to Afghanistan.

No, I don't think we need to execute somebody or place them in harms way to make the point about not posting foolish things on Facebook. She's probably going to lose her job. That will likely be punishment enough.

There are many who have done far worse but have not lost their jobs as a result of a poor decision while on the job. This is a poor attempt at humor. Burning at the stake is not really necessary.

You misunderstand me.

Afghanistan=Taliban blowing up power stations.

Taliban blowing up power stations=No Internet.

No Internet=No dumbass photos being posted on the Internet

Anyway, Afghanistan and America both have crazy people carrying guns everywhere.

Sounds like you must teach Information Security at the university level. Why? Because I know someone else who does and that person says exactly what you say about Facebook and so forth. I was going to post an opinion about this subject but then I thought: "No need. Takeda Shingen said it all - and much more."

Rgr that.

When one is stupid enuff to post everything they do on the 'Net in anyway?
They deserve the fall out.
It's not like this FaceBook and InterNet thing is something new and she was just a dumb teenager.

Adding the fact she was told it was a bad idea by others?
I question her ability to do the job she was doing!

I'd fire her in a heartbeat if she worked for me.

Acting as she did in public is distasteful.

Getting photographed doing so is distasteful and dumb.

Posting the photo on Facebook is distasteful+dumb+stupid^2.

Just started as a literacy volunteer for special needs adults and one of the first caveats was don't embarrass yourself in a venue where your clients might learn of your actions.

She deserves to lose her job. Everybody screws up sometimes but there is no fixing stupid and she demonstrated colossal stupidity.

I have heard anecdotally in my profession of students having their training terminated over social-network/forum postings that were...unwise. I wonder if it's true.

I am not sure that many of us need that advice.This seems to be a problem with some members of younger generations.I also feel that it should be common sense what you said.

I was directing this towards some of our younger members. I apologize and should have made that more clear.
