Study/article: the "super-commuter" trend

[vtk]

Let's see if I can explain it simply without getting into specifics about my employer*:

*The vagueness isn't legally required, but it seems like a good idea in general when making public posts on the Internet.

It's OK.  I already know what company you work for, remember? 

Yes but that's not the point. I've heard of people being fired for posting things publically on the Internet about their employer (even positive things; that's Marketing's job).  So when I talk about my work on a public forum, I don't reveal my employer, so my statements can't be construed to represent or misrepresent any specific corporate entity.

There was a security guard at my workplace who got fired for posting a YouTube video of him holding his badge and saying "Security", which was then autotuned and played over hip-hop with different visual effects. I question their judgment to bother canning someone for such an asinine reason.

Sounds like a really shitty video, is why.

Oops, sorry, less cursing. I won't say "shitty" again.

Yeah, it was a pretty dumb video, but really, it just makes the employer look dumb in the long run. If I was interviewing that guy applying for his next job and asked him "Why are you no longer at your previous employer?", if he said "I was fired for making this video:" and showed it to me, my thought would be less "Oh man this guy is an unacceptable risk NEXT APPLICANT PRONTO" and more along the lines of "Wow, his old boss was a jackass."
