What happens on MySpace doesn’t stay on MySpace. Uh, erm, in this case, on Facebook.

It seems those doomsday stories about social networking being harmful to your career… they’re coming true. The story goes like this: Young bloke sends his boss a note apologizing ahead of time for missing work. Cites a family emergency. In reality, he’s taking off for Halloween.

Yes, that’s him in the picture. He posted it on his Facebook page.

Hilarity ensues after the break…

Well, of course, ole Bossman smelled something fishy. So he did a little virtual snooping.

Not so, cause this is 2007 and of course this story has made it’s way around the internet. And how did that come about? Because the boss sent a smarmy reply back to the kid and made sure to CC everyone in the office. Thus did a thousand blog flowers bloom.

I’ve gotten this from several readers, but I’ll give credit to Valleywag, since that seems to be where everyone first saw this.
