In trouble at work
Today I woke up feeling feverish and ill, so I called work to tell them I wouldn't be coming in. I went to the doctor's in the afternoon and when I got home my Dad told me that work had called saying that I'd be on Facebook saying that I was 'out enjoying the sun with my boyfriend'. I called my boss who said that a member of staff had told him that. I told him that it was a complete lie as I had not been on Facebook all day and had been at the doctors. He said we would discuss it when I next came in on Friday.
Now I am really quite worried that I am in trouble about this. I can swear now that there was nothing of the sort on my Facebook and that the only time I have left the house today was to go to the doctor's. Furthermore, my boyfriend is away today so there is no way I could have been out with him.
What should I say to my boss on Friday? I'm now worried that someone from work has got it in for me and don't know what to do.

Maybe someone had seen a previous status you posted & assumed that it was from today. You should probably edit your Facebook privacy because it could really get you into trouble.
I think if you just explain the situation to your boss, you should be fine. It was a misunderstanding. And if your boss would like to see it, maybe you could show him your Facebook to prove that there was no such status update for today.

Facebook and myspace etc has been increasing getting people in trouble anywhere. If there is anyone at work that you dont trust I would definetly block them, and monitor what people can see. If you have not, set your profiles on private.
Dont be worried about what your boss is going to say to you, he/she can honestly be sued for false accusations. Not to mention they dont know what really happened. Unless anyone has actual proof of what went on, nothing can happen.
If you did actually go to the doctors (which you claim you have) I recommend you call your doctor up and ask for a referal note, or some evidence that you were in fact there. Even getting a note from your parent (just in case) would be a really good idea.
Just remember not to take an attitude with your boss while speaking to them, at this point, it sounds like they would like to fire you for any little reason they can.
Good luck!!! Tell me how this works out for you! :-) If you need anything else, you can ask at my column, xosodapopx3
