It had to happen - people have been fired by email and text, now someone just got fired on Facebook.  The article describes the case of an employee who had their boss listed as a friend on Facebook, then complained about their job. 

Unfortunately, the article talks about the plusses and minusses of having your boss as a Facebook friend.  It does not discuss the psychological impact of being fired this way.  See my article "Is there a better way to give bad news?" for more on this.
