What you posted on social media in the past could impact your job, your livelihood or your entire life. Just ask Bianca Schoombee.

Additionally, any company worth its weight in gold will always do a thorough background check before ever even hiring you.

“In this day and age culture fit is becoming a big thing. I know of a candidate that was employed because he shared the same interests as the hiring manager. Another thing is if the prospective candidate will be a good brand ambassador, no one wants to employ someone who discriminates against certain groups or minorities,” said Tsosane.

What started out as a form of public shaming of both individuals and larger entities has evolved into a means of attaining a fleeting feeling of justice through the systemic means of ensuring that anyone who missteps on social media is sanctioned and this vengeance is enacted not only by a court of one’s peers but the court of public opinion as well.

The people who then find and distribute this information can do anything from calling their job or school and asking them to act against the offender to calling family members’ jobs to get at the offender.
