Basically, don't post anything on social media you would not want your employer to see...I use the "Would I hire me?" metric.

Crime - wise, here in Chicawgo, gang members/criminals get busted, eventually for the "evidence" they stoopidly post on FB, making gang signs, bragging, etc....

Of course this happens to city/municipal employees, too, especially those who claim disability, but FB posts show them mountain climbing, cavorting in the surf in Hawaii, gambling at swank locales, etc...BUSTED...!!!
