A social media intern was promised a lot of creative freedom in their role. But when they started creating content, they were constantly micromanaged. Every single post had to be approved by multiple managers, and each manager had different and often conflicting opinions. This made the intern's job extremely frustrating and unproductive.
In one instance, a social media job involved handling a company's Facebook page during a major PR crisis. The company received a lot of negative feedback and the person in charge was not given any clear guidelines on how to handle it. They tried their best to respond to angry customers but the company later criticized their responses as not being good enough.
There was a case where an employee in a social media job was given an extremely tight deadline to launch a major campaign. They had to work long hours, almost non - stop for days. And when they finally launched it, there were technical glitches that the company blamed on them, even though it was due to the rushed development process.
A software developer shared his coding projects on GitHub and also tweeted about his work progress. A big tech company was looking for developers with his skill set. They found his GitHub profile and Twitter account. After a series of interviews, he landed a high - paying job. This illustrates that using multiple social media platforms can increase your visibility in the job market.

Sure. There was a story where a user received death threats on social media just because of their political views. The threats were so serious that they had to involve the police. It shows how extreme some people can get on social media platforms.
Sure. There was a story of a young man who posted a simple opinion on a social media site. But then he was mobbed by a group of angry users.

It depends. Some social media platforms might have changed their policies or settings that could limit sharing stories. But not all platforms are the same.
In a real - life social media horror story, a young man shared his travel experiences on a popular platform. An obsessed follower started stalking him in real life. The stalker showed up at the places he visited based on the details he shared, which was really terrifying for the young man.
A friend of mine shared a personal story on social media about a family problem she was facing. Instead of getting support, some people shared her post around and made fun of her situation. It spread like wildfire and she felt violated. She learned the hard way that not everything should be shared on social media, as it can turn into a nightmare very quickly.
Sure. A well - known horror story was when a major airline had a social media meltdown. They made a sarcastic tweet in response to a customer complaint which went viral for all the wrong reasons. It showed the company in a very unprofessional and uncaring light.
Limit the personal information you share. Don't post your address, phone number, or bank details. Simple as that.
