In What Not To Do At Work Today…

Silly prank?

More like fired for prank.

This Taco Bell employee was recently fired for snapping a photo of him licking the franchise’s taco shells while working and posting it online. Is it time for people to take social media etiquette classes now?

Scratch that – I mean this isn’t just a social media issue, it’s a health issue above anything else, but c’mon he had to know this was coming.

Taco Bell released this statement today in regards to terminating the employee for this scandalous photo.

Taco Bell released a statement on Tuesday that the employee is in the process of being terminated from his employment.

Our franchisee is responsible for the employment and conduct of his restaurant’s employees and he has informed us that he immediately suspended the employee shown in the photo and is in the process of terminating his employment. The employee who took the photo no longer works there. As we complete our investigation we will work with our franchisee to implement any additional action we find appropriate to address this situation and ensure it never happens again.
