Juppo,
Man, when your wrong, it's a lulu, isn't it!
Read the computer journals. In almost every issue of PC World, there are reports of people losing their jobs for what they posted on the internet. It is almost routine anymore. And when they are hiring; yes they do have time to search you out on the internet. And they take their sweet time doin' it too - they do have all day actually! Especially government employers.
And it ain't just with Google either. Much more sophisticated web crawlers, specially programed to search for stuff the boss might find objectionable, are often used.
The biggest problem for people of course, is when they've shot their mouths off about what is going on in their workplace, or their boss's client's workplace, or the one about the boss's wife. Rapp on facebook about that old grievance at work - and just see how fast you get tossed. Talk politics somewhere, and if your public agency officials don't like what they read. . . . . It has happened to thousands around the country already. You apparently just ain't payin' attention.
Oh! BTW, I have sat on many a hiring panel. We will look for info from anywhere we can get it - even your credit score. Maybe even your girlfriend's phone number or your ex's - and we will call your neighbors sometimes. Rest assured, the "Lose Canon" will not get that job!
And yes, it may seem a bit fascist, But hey - welcome to Corporate America - or Big Government. Whatever - It makes no freekin difference anymore!
I so after letting that old stray cat out of the bag - I will sign off with a fake name!
See ya in the funny papers!
