Twittering Away His Job
March 23rd, 2009 by ComputerBob
I’ve seen it mentioned on several sites, and it looks like it’s probably real, even though it has all of the makings of an urban legend — enough detail to make it look credible, without the specific details that would allow someone else to check it out for themselves.
But, whether or not it’s a true story, its valuable lessons are definitely true.
A guy gets a new job with networking giant, Cisco.
He immediately complains about his new job on Twitter.
Can you guess who reads and replies to his complaint within an hour?
Even though other sites covered it first, I chose to link to this site, because it did a great job of extracting and explaining the lesson — for people who are too stupid to figure it out for themselves.
People like the new Cisco employee.
