You've heard all the stories of employees being fired for Facebook and MySpace indiscretions. Who hasn't? Some of these are justified and clear-cut firings, some are a bit foggier. If there is a lesson to be learned, it is simply be very careful what you post online ... and as an extension of that, be very careful with how you conduct yourself in general, lest a friend or bystander posts some incriminating evidence you would prefer to keep personal.

But now, there comes a case of just flat out, despicable stupidity and meanness. Mashable links to a story originating at the Consumerist featuring some less than sanitary acts by Dominoes Pizza employees. These employees filmed their brazen acts and then (and we probably could have expected a move like this from these two brain surgeons) uploaded the clips to YouTube.

Some readers were able to track down the location, inform Dominoes and the employees were subsequently fired (a commenter in the Mashable thread says criminal charges have been filed, but this is unsubstantiated at this time). I'm not even sure if this qualifies as Job Fail ... this one may be Life Fail. I'll post the video below if you are interest. It isn't particularly enlightening or interesting, but hey, some of us are masochistic in that way.

Before I lose my lunch, let's move on to The Links ...

The Lone Gunman Contemplates: The negative side of setting goals. Apparently setting "performance" goals can backfire as they inspire short bursts of a lot of effort, rather than sustained levels of just the right amount. Apparently, "learning goals" can be more effective as they teach to search for a solution to a problem, rather than a quick fix.

Penelope Trunk Says: Retail is the new banking ... from a career perspective. "[A]s college grads contemplate their options for June, and twenty-somethings watch pink slips fly, here’s something to consider: The prestige job of the new millennium is waiting tables and folding shirts. That’s right. If you are in your 20s, you should try retail. Here’s why."

ERE Reports: On CareerBuilder's custom twitter job alert service.

Forbes Advises: On how to stand out at a job fair. "When possible, pre-register. In so doing, you will learn what companies will be there, which means you can research those companies and get a sense of what jobs they'll be trying to fill."
