Many of us have accounts on Mybook and FaceSpace etc, and will update them with status messages, photos, comments etc. But do you really think about who might be reading it? Clearly a lot of people don't.
I remember a situation a few years ago when Friends Reunited was all the rage and I was interviewing a graduate for a new job. They sat opposite me and said they were back from travelling and wanted to start their career in earnest. When I checked their Friends Reunited page there was a note saying that they wanted to earn some money for 6 months and then F~~~ Off back to warmer climates! Ever since, I have always looked up potential staff online.
But an Auzzie has recently won the prize for the biggest bust and has turned into an online celebrity. Check out the exchange with his boss below:

Niresh,
1 day leave absences do not require a medical certificate as stated in my contract, provided I have stated that I am on leave for medical reasons.
Thanks

Hi Kyle,
Usually that is the case, as per your contract. However please note that leave during these occasions is only granted for genuine medical reasons. You line manager has determined that your leave was not due to medical reasons and as such we cannot grant leave on this occasion.

Hi Niresh,
My leave was due to medical reasons, so you cannot deny leave based on a line manager's discretion, with no proof, please process leave as requested.
Thanks

Kyle Doyle
