1. My reaction was surprise that someone can get fire for something so small and insignificant. 
2. She was fired for harassment against a coworker after posting on facebook that she was a liar.
3. Yes, because bosses can fire you for anything if it's not over race, sex, religion, etc.
4. A digital footprint is what you leave behind on the internet. 
5. I do not post that many private things online, mostly stuff surrounding the aspects of myself that most people know already.
6. I don't think she should get fired but I don't think she should post it because other people can react badly to that kind of stuff and they might get you in trouble for it.
My reaction to this video, fire over facebook, was sort of a surprise that someone can get fire for something so small and insignificant. A lady was fired for harassment against a coworker after posting on facebook that she was a liar, and it was legal because bosses can fire you for anything if it's not over race, sex, religion, etc.
This has to do with someone's digital, which is what you leave behind on the internet. I personally do not post that many private things online, mostly stuff surrounding the aspects of myself that most people know already.
In the end I don't think she should get fired, but I don't think she should have posted it because other people can react badly to that kind of stuff and they might get you in trouble for it, and if i was there to stop her from doing so, I would have. A person must be careful what they put out on facebook and twitter and other sites such as these because it's one thing to let people know what kind of music you like in order to find common ground, but its another to start posting personal opinions and facts revolving around your identity. So, always think before you speak, or in this case, think before you post.
