Busted by Facebook for faking a sick day

If you decide to fake a sick day it would not be a good idea to publish it on Facebook. A man in Australia probably won’t do it again.

A Sydney telco employee has learned the hard way the perils of sharing too much information on Facebook after he was caught by his boss faking a sickie after a big night out.

Kyle Doyle was asked by his manager to provide a medical certificate for the day he took off work.

Doyle asked why he needed a medical slip for just one day.

The manager then gave Doyle a screen print of his Facebook profile, highlighting a status update written on the leave day saying he was not going to work because he was still ‘trashed’ (after as big night out).
