Tell the World That You’re Bored
One entry-level employee complained about her boredom on Facebook, and was promptly dismissed with a letter firing her because “you are not happy and do not enjoy your work.” Although saying you’re bored might be an obvious flub, far too many employees still post remarks like, “This work week is dragging.” That could still be considered a dig at your employer.
A better career move: While Danielson concedes that being bored isn’t usually enough to get you fired, she says, “I’m not going to promote someone who says they’re bored,” Danielson says. “She can get that fixed and obviously isn’t interested in doing so.” If you find yourself in this position, volunteer for more challenging projects or have a talk with your supervisor.

Post Off-Color or Tasteless Remarks
Examples abound of people being fired for racist and insensitive remarks, but some employers’ grounds for firing are subtler. A Walmart employee was fired for making remarks on Facebook like, “The government needs to step in and set a limit on the kids people are allowed to have based on their income. If you can’t afford to feed them, you shouldn’t be allowed to have them!!!” An offended customer reported him to management.
