Facebook is No Friend to Daft White Collar Slackers

Under the banner “Your privacy is an illusion,” ValleyWag published this story about a careless intern at Anglo Irish Bank. After frequent absences from work, the kid requested off for Halloween weekend due to an issue at home.

That same night the intern posted a bunch of pictures on Facebook of the Halloween party he apparently ditched work for. The next day, his boss responded to his email and attached an incriminating image of him in costume, then BCC’ed the rest of the office.

“Cool wand,” he added in parenthesis.

Burn, baby, burn. But at least his fashion sense didn’t go unnoticed.
