Some do indeed keep their Facebook private, but many do not, or have their privacy restrictions set to the level that "friends of friends" are able to see everything they need to see to make a decision. And of course a lot of people don't seem to keep their Twitter private at all, as Ms. James has clearly demonstrated.
And of course you can't ever count on deleting something to make it "disappear." Just ask Hunter, Jen, what's-her-face, and Chris Seiber about the "get movie stars off of Broadway" debacle. I seem to remember a few posts vanishing and an attempt to pretend that they had never been made, until numerous screen-grabs appeared to remind everyone of just what they had said.

It shouldn't matter for any job, and yet they always tell people who are looking for work (of any kind) to be careful what you post (and have available to view publicly) on social media. It may be unfair, but that's the world we've created for ourselves.

For the reasons I said.
Take the alcohol out of the scenario, if that's the part that bugs you, although I thought I was clear that that wasn't my point. If they tweeted "God hates f-gs" or "Sometimes I want to shoot up my entire office" I wouldn't hire them either.
But how would this person make their case that I refused to hire them because they're indiscreet on twitter? I usually interview up to a half dozen candidates and hire just one. I am not called upon to justify to the others why I didn't select them.

Posted: 7/27/12 at 2:38pmUGH. How can you equate Westboro Baptist Church crazies or murdering lunatics with this?!??!!? Hyperbole much?! Come on Reg, you're smarter than that.

Calm down, rob. I'm not equating anything with anything, and you should be smart enough to know that.
I am trying to rationally discuss the ways in which social media have effects beyond the momentary impulse to express a 144-character thought.
Pick ANY potentially indiscreet post you care to dream up, then imagine a potential employer happening upon it. Then imagine that person presenting themselves as a candidate among others who DON'T post things that might be off-putting to an employer.
Can you see how that person might be disadvantaging themselves? If your answer is no, then fine, and best of luck.

We're not saying that such practices are right.
But they EXIST. And people KNOW they exist. People know that employers or potential employers may look at their profiles. And, depending on the job, decide that they don't want someone that they know is out drinking.
It's a "gotcha" world.
And people need to learn to live in it. That means use some foresight before updating the world on every aspect of your life.

Posted: 7/27/12 at 3:00pmI also imagine that 99.99+ percent of the people who might post something about wanting to shoot up their offices aren't, in fact, "murdering lunatics"--and look at the leap you made.

Posted: 7/27/12 at 3:04pmANY comment you use on a social website can will be used to base opinions. COLLEGES go stalking, EMPLOYERS go stalking -- it's foolish for them not to.

Posted: 7/27/12 at 4:09pmIf I was employing people, I would take on Morgan who has been honest. Others will come to an interview hating 'Into The Woods' but praise it; inwardly hating it; and 'we' fall for that. I would rather have someone that is out spoken and honest than a devious barsteward any day

I'm not sure that not posting on twitter makes someone a devious bastard.
Nor that everything posted on twitter is an honest opinion.

Posted: 7/27/12 at 4:32pmI can't stand people who think declaring themselves "outspoken" means they can't be called on their BS because they issued the disclaimer.

Hey, Morgan James may have said that everyone involved with ITW were examples of how acting and musicianship were dead in musical theatre, but at least she was honest about it!
That kind of straight-forwardness is exactly what we need in a close-knit, often high-stress environment like a Broadway rehearsal process!

Posted: 7/27/12 at 4:45pmWhen I'm hiring interns, I view a stupid comment on Twitter or drunken Facebook photos not much as for what they are, but more as the fact that the person is foolish enough not to cover their tracks. I think that says a lot about someone.
ITW Controversy: Broadway Actress Disses Show#92
Posted: 7/27/12 at 4:47pmCan't cover their tracks... or can't suppress their honesty?

I haven't seen the production but maybe Morgan has a point. It may have been a disastrous preview and needs a lot of work, I don't know but I certainly wouldn't judge her on that one opinion. Perhaps the production have taken on board her comments and will improve the piece

"Perhaps the production have taken on board her comments and will improve the piece."
Her comment was "I fear musicianship is dead in musical theatre. And acting, for that matter," so I suppose they could stop trying to make music or act.
