[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9448763, member: 4534"] It's not a career killer but it might give another candidate an edge in the future. When I interview a candidate for a position, it's a red flag if they talk smack about their current/former employer or give me an indication they hate their current job. Of course a red flag doesn't automatically mean a no, it's just something I might be concerned about. It's a public account everyone can see and he's in a position where people check his posts. Generally speaking, I'm not an advocate of checking into a candidate's social media for a myriad of reasons. That said, I've had on a handful of occasions had to deal with the fallout from employees posting some pretty vile things on their personal accounts. i.e. It's tough for an African American employee to feel their yearly evaluations are fair when their supervisor is known for posting racists content online. I just hope no employer finds out I post here. What would become of me if they knew I was a gamer? Or worst yet that I spent time typing over the internet with other gamers? [/QUOTE]
