‘OMG! I HATE MY JOB! My boss is a total pervvy ****** always making me do **** stuff just to **** me off. ******!’

This is the Facebook status line recently published by one not-so-motivated employee after a hard day’s toil.

Unfortunately for the staff member in question, the following comment is posted below hers.

‘Hi there, I guess you forgot about adding me on here? ….that **** stuff is called your job, you know, what I pay you to do? …you seem to have forgotten that you have two weeks left on your six month trial period. Don’t bother coming in tomorrow. I’ll drop your P45 in the post.’

This is a powerful example of ‘how not to behave’ for workers and employers alike.

  1. Wow, what a great example! I’m speaking to an undergraduate marketing class about personal branding. I’ll be sure to use your post among my examples of what not to do. Cheers, Leo
