Once again, we witness the wreckless mis-handling of social media.

One Swiss insurance company employee told her employer that she needed to stay away from her monitor and in the dark for a while, for medical reasons.  Later, though, she was spotted actively using Facebook and was subsequently fired.

Insurance company Nationale Suisse said in a statement that this behavior breached its trust in the employee.

"This abuse of trust, rather than the activity on Facebook, led to the ending of the work contract," a spokesman for the firm said.

The woman did admit to using Facebook, but only on her iPhone.  She has accused the insurance company of spying on her by sending a mysterious friend request that made the company see her activities.

The company is denying the claim and said a co-worker discovered her online activity.

The employee was content to be let go.

"My trust for this employer is gone," the 31-year-old woman said.

Don't let Facebook get you fired...
