Let’s face it: some folks just don’t grasp the concept that Facebook is a very public space unless you have your privacy settings on lock. For instance, if you’re employed at a daycare, it’s probably not wise to post something like “I hate kids” for the world to see. Well, one woman learned that the hard way recently. Spoiler alert: she’s now looking for a new job.
Meet Jessica Lane
Jessica Lane, a 27-year-old single mom from a Dallas suburb, had just secured a position at a daycare, but her excitement crashed when her employers caught wind of her Facebook status before her first day. The post read: “I’m starting my new job today, but honestly, I hate working at daycare. Lol, it’s fine, I just can’t stand being around a bunch of kids.” Yikes!
Since her post was set to “public,” Jessica faced a backlash from random internet users. Seriously, can someone please teach her how to change her settings to “friends only”? She told a local news outlet, “These people are attacking me for not wanting to be around kids all the time.” Again, does she not realize that making her account private could spare her from this kind of drama? It’s like watching someone walk into a wall repeatedly.
The Importance of Common Sense
Let’s give credit where it’s due: handling a room full of kids takes immense patience, and I admire anyone who can do it. My concern here isn’t just about her expressing frustration; it’s about the sheer lack of common sense in publicly ranting about a job she desperately needs—especially in a time when people seem to take offense at the drop of a hat on social media. A writer from a popular site noted that “some suburban folks with nothing better to do hounded a woman out of a job she needed.” True enough. But the takeaway here is clear: set your Facebook posts to PRIVATE, folks!
