Genbean wants y'all to know that girl-mom.com is apparently not work friendly.

She was visiting during her break, which was totally allowed. However, her supervisor captured stills of the social justice forum, and because they have a government contract, Gen lost her job.

Luckily, she has since found a new job doing the same thing for more money, so that's all good, but she wanted to warn any unsuspecting users.

I'm glad it all worked out though.

What a pain in the neck!

Every time I've applied for job here in the U.S., the application works like this:

Personal information
Employment history
***We can fire you whenever we want to, for any reason or no reason***
SIGN HERE: XXXX

You have to sign the application to submit it, and you agree to that when you submit the application.

As far as them spying on her, yeah, that's completely legal. They can read your email, too.
