My old boss fired me for a dumb meme I posted on a private account. It was a picture of a cat with a caption about hating Mondays. He said it showed a 'bad attitude'.

What is it with bosses thinking they own your whole life now? I see it everywhere, people getting in trouble for stuff they do off the clock. It's not about the meme, it's about control. They want to act like you're on the job 24/7, even when you're just joking around at home. That cat picture just gave him an excuse.

Consider how your online stuff can still hurt the company's name.

Wow, that's a new level of overreaction. My entire search history is just me asking how to turn things off and on again, so maybe I'd get fired for incompetence instead? A cat hating Mondays is basically a universal truth.
