Talk about a loyal employee!

Pittsburgh Pirates fire mascot over Facebook posting
Another day, another example of how NOT to use Facebook.
According to a Yahoo story, a 24 year old Pittsburgh man who was employed as a racing pierogi (Milwaukee Brewer fans, think racing sausages) was fired after he posted a sarcastic status update about the contract extensions of the team's general manager and manager.
I've said it before; do not say negative things about your work on social media channels! These comments can come back to bite you, and can even cost you your job!

MLB's Latest Controversy- from a work standpoint
It's human nature to make mistakes. Since we spend much of our daily lives at work, it's only natural that we will make mistakes there too. When I'm at work and I make a mistake, not many people find out about it. The same can't be said for Jim Joyce, a Major League Baseball umpire, whose split-second decision has possibly cost him his work reputation for life.
Armando Galarraga, a pitcher for the Detroit Tigers, was trying to get his last out during what had been a perfect game, when Joyce mistakenly called the runner safe at first base when he was clearly out. After the game was over, the 21 year MLB umpire apologized to Galarraga, acknowledging that he "had cost the kid a perfect game."
The moral of this story is that Jim Joyce has done what many of us do when we make a mistake at work; we apologize to those we've hurt, and we have to go on working every day. It's hard to make mistakes in the public eye and hopefully MLB fans can keep that in mind.
As a side note, Bud Selig, if you're reading this, you can still reverse the call and give Armando Galarraga his rightful place in baseball history. And while you're at it, consider more replays during games. It would make the people involved sleep a lot better at night.
