By now, we've seen plenty of people fired thanks to their online antics on social networks like MySpace or Facebook, but this latest story takes that idea and puts something of a twist on it. According to Canwest News Service, Crystal Bell was a worker at a Canadian spa who logged in to Facebook one morning back in November before heading to work. She had a message waiting in her inbox from her boss -- a message indicating that she'd been fired. Thinking her boss was kidding she went to work anyway. As it turns out, it wasn't a joke.
Bell lives in British Columbia and is a frequent user of the site -- in fact she actually found the job and was hired over Facebook. In that light it's somewhat more fitting that her employment was also terminated through the service, but that still makes it rather distasteful. Now, of course, there's a legal debate stirring about how appropriate or inappropriate that action was, but that's a discussion that will surely take some time to settle. Until then we'll go ahead and label this as rude.
