Found a stat that says 1 in 5 people lose their job over a social media post from years ago

Remember that woman who lost her job over a single tweet about cupcakes? Nobody could have predicted that would follow her around for years. How many of these stories boil down to someone just venting privately online, not realizing their words would be screen-shotted and turned into a career-ender? I wonder if young people today actually understand theyre building a permanent record every time they post something angry or frustrated.

Honestly I used to blow off those warnings but now I actually believe the stat.

Yeah @kaigibson I saw some article about how those phishing tests actually catch more people than they think. Crazy how quick it happens.
