Social media is very important for this day and age but can definitely be used against people if used improperly. It can cost you your job and could even land you in jail.
Here are 5 (only a few of many) things you should not post about on social media. Ever.
1. Criticizing your boss
GiphyMost employees can find you on your social media and negative comments about them will always bite you in the butt. Never post anything negative about your boss (or anyone for that matter) on social media.
2. Drug related posts
GiphyNever ever post anything about drugs on your social media. Not only are most of them illegal, but they are also in poor taste. You never know who may end up viewing your page and seeing those posts...
3. Vague posts
GiphyPosting a comment that needs further fleshed out and then refusing to tell people what you mean is just pointless. An example would be "I had a long day" with absolutely no indication of what happened.
Inaccurate news
GiphyPeople often share links or news that they do not fact check before posting. I have seen numerous posts where a news article said a celebrity died and the poster neglected to look at the date of the article. Always look at the date before posting.
5. Dirty laundry
GiphyDo not post other people's business. It is just common sense. If someone is talking negatively about you online, speak to them one-on-one away from everyone else. Be adults.
Be wise about what you post. Everyone can see it.
