Not related, but it kind of is.
In 2008 I was working on a joint co-production for one of the biggest TV stations in Europe (it rhymes with RTL/Endemol) and we were stationed in Asia where we were shooting a Big Brother show.
One of the colleagues wrote something on his facebook wall (2008, after all) which was set private and he had a tight circle of friends. What he wrote was really bad, comparing his German employer to Nazis or something. Real bad. His, well, our boss then heard about it (he wasn't on his facebook) and guy got promptly fired and dispatched to Europe. The evening he got fired he wasn't even allowed in the same hotel we were at. They transported him immediately to another hotel where he would wait for transportation back home.
That event made me aware of what this thing will be in our futures, but also to always be open and vocal about your issues in all channels of communications or shut up completely.
edit:
I forgot the 'detail' about the story though. What he wrote was before he landed the gig (with that company), and boss found out during the production.
