Dr. June Talvitie-Siple lost her $92,636-a-year job as supervisor of the math and science program at Cohasset High School due to a Facebook post.

Talvitie-Siple described the school parents as “arrogant and snobby” and the kids as “germ bags”.  She explained later on after being fired that it was meant to be a joke and that people close to her would understand.  Talvitie-Siple also admitted that she isn’t aware that Facebook changed its privacy policy last December making everything posted available for public viewing.

School Committee Vice Chairman Alfred Slanetz said, “I thought somebody hacked her Web page.”

Other known firings done because of Facebook posts are:

The sociology professor who updated her status with, “Anyone knows where I can find a hitman?” Then a month later, “Didn’t want to kill even one student…”

The stadium worker who reacted via Facebook with obscenities because one of his favorite players to whom he works for would be changing teams.

Virgin Atlantic Airlines firing 13 cabin crew members after making fun of passengers online and mentioning defective engines.

The Twitter poster who never got the job at Cisco for mentioning that she would hate the work there.
