    I don't even get the idea of some parents just leaving their child unattended and just leaving, that alone should be a security call.

      I used to be a librarian for a few years. Every summer, parent would drop their children off and go to work or whatever else they wanted to do. These kiddos would be unsupervised for over 8 hours. Some of the parent used to drop their kid off before the library was open, and the child had to wait outside until we opened. We would tell them to wait in front of the glass door so we could try and keep an eye on them. One of our custodial service reps told a child, in a respectable manner, to stop running in the library. The mother was told and she came into the library with a knife. The police were called. It ridiculous what some parents are capable of. This is one of the reasons why I found another job.

    I read a story on Reddit where a firefighter responded to a fire at a grocery store, and he witnessed a customer not only refuse to evacuate the store, but she was screaming in a manager’s face (the manager of the department _where the fire was_ mind you) because she wanted to shop in that section and couldn’t. OP walked straight up to the woman and yelled “F*** OFF!” in her face because he knew the manager couldn’t do it. The customer actually called OP’s boss and filed against him, but he only got a mild lecture about screaming the f-word at people.

      That mother should should have been thankful that guy alerted security. She was definitely would not have been a victim if the kid was kidnapped. She left the kind unattended for 2 hours and wasn't even in the same building. I really do hope that guy countersued the woman for getting him fired, and the DM for wrongful termination.

    I almost got fired from my first job because of several things I posted on Facebook (It was a fast food joint in an uppity neighborhood, I was 17) One day one of the other guys confronted the boss (very loudly) about how he knew what we posted on social media. He indirectly admitted to stalking a bunch of us online to make sure what we posted "fit the culture" of his fast food franchise chain. The job paid $7.25 and he thought we all had to censor ourselves to not make him look bad.

    I had an interview for a very good pay job. I passed the test and was approved to receive the job. However, at the orientation it was required that we make a social media page. I told the one orientating that that I will never be a member of a true social media network. A semi-anonymous CZcams rant is the closest I would get and that is a video sharing network that allows commentary. The woman then told me it was a requirement to work there. I simply stood up and said, "Thank you for your time," and left. I do not know why a social media network page was a requirement for a job servicing, repairing, and configuring communication equipment. I never asked. I will never have a true social media network page. I know nobody. Nobody knows me. I have no family in the continent I reside. There is no reason to have a drama net account.

I was very careful. I even had my account set to private and put it on my personal Facebook page. But one of my "friends" took a screenshot and sent it to my boss.

Unless you're posting horrendous things and offensive hot takes, then yeah that's probably concerning.

    Story 4: When I used to work retail, parents would usually leave their children to play in our store, and disappear. After too many incidents, I placed a sign saying if there are any unattended children in the store, police will be called immediately. One mom went up to me and asked if the sign was a joke or serious. I told her it was serious. She didn't believe me, left her kid in the store. I was on the phone to the police within seconds.
    Police came, took child away. Mom came back FOUR HOURS later, panic set in. I simply handed her a card the police gave me to give to her.
    The next week, she came back screaming at me, saying she lost custody of the child to her ex-husband because of me. I simply walked up to her, nose to nose, and calmly said, 'Good!', then walked away. She was speechless.

    Not me but someone I worked with. He had decided he was going to quit after his next shift (he had a couple days off before then). Being a high school kid he thought it would be really funny to make a tiktok with the store's phone number telling people to call and ask about a particular product of ours. It went somewhat viral and the phone was ringing off the hook which really disrupted productivity. It didn't take long to find the video and piece together what happened. He didn't get the chance to quit...

    Another healthcare instance - i worked at a place where one of the nurses who care for children posted they couldn't believe they had taken care of the child of a guy on a local sports team. She didn't name the team, or the guy, but only one athlete in the area had a child that age who was in the hospital. Even though she didn't name anyone specifically, the patient was still identifiable, so she was fired. And for nurses (and doctors or PTs, or anyone with a license), these things are ethics violations that can get your license revoked and destroy your career.

    Not really lose a job, but I have a related story.
    I live in Israel, and we have mandatory army service- but orthodox Jewish women don't have to serve, since army service may not allow them to keep their religious lifestyle and modesty (before y'all jump in with how it's a petty excuse, many of them volunteer for service or volunteer to help the community in other places like hospitals or schools instead of the army).
    Anyway, apparently there were multiple cases where women claimed to be orthodox so they wouldn't have to serve; but then the officers checked their Facebook and found pictures in bikinis and stuff like that, so they got caught lying and were forced to enlist.

I look and it was soooo horribly edited and sent to my boss to get me fired for telling the poster to post it locally not the other side of the world to scam people.. showing my boss the original comment he was brought to tears, he said "this is a first for me, so take a 30 min break on my dime and get us coffee and we'll write a response to their support team saying it was bogus.. and the social media page is being shutdown bc of this"
