Sharing is caring! 
I came across this a little earlier from a picture posted by Caveman Circus and thought it really displayed the amazing effects of a Facebook status update.
WARNING: the following image does provide a few instances of foul language, so if foul language offends you in any way, I recommend you simply ignore the graphic and read everything below it.
That being said, here is a perfect example of how one simple status update led to a person getting fired from their job.
Now granted, many people may not use the kind of language that was used by this girl in her status update, but it provides a very important lesson, which is this: When you post anything on any social network (or any public place for that manner) that is directly tied to you, consider any repercussions or consequences that may occur from posting it. In the above example, this girl seemed to completely forget that she added her boss as a friend, meaning he could real all of her status updates. Now, she is fired from her job.
But it’s not just your direct connections you need to be concerned about. Remember, a lot of real estate professionals receive referrals through word of mouth marketing. This means that while your new clients may not be directly connected to you on your social networks, the person that referred them to you might be. So, if you ever make a comment or post about how irritating or difficult it is to work with a specific client, just keep in mind that you never know who will read and distribute your comments.
So even though everyone has those moments where they just want to vent all of their problems in the open, make sure to always stay professional and positive on your social networks. Not only do negative vibes tend to spread and impact other people, but staying positive and professional will help eliminate any risks you may encounter from any negative comments you post on your social networks.
