You may not consider it right but I can assure you it is the first place every employer in the UK looks at to help them determine whether or not a prospective candidate is suitable for the position applied for.

In fact it would be incompetent of them if they didn’t do that. Everyone searches the web for information on everybody. It’s the accepted norm. Like it or lump it.

That’s rather unfair of you. Most of us work in an office. Writing lines of code or juggling entries on a spreadsheet is more or less sweet FA.

AFM soldiers do a real job, with real work. It’s true they never fired a single shot in anger since 1974 but that’s not their fault. It’s the government’s.

Minn naha l-ohra, jista’ jsib xi awtorita’ li tghannqu, tifrahlu u tingaggah bhala suldat tal-azzar!

@ Christian Borg, l-ezempju disgustanti tieghek huwa tali li qed ihalli effetti hziena hafna.

Jeqq taqra l-gurament li inti hadt meta sirt suldat tinduna li hadt gurament falz, u tista titkecca u taghddi qorti marzjali tad-diskors razzist li inti ghedt fil-pubbliku.

Ghandek kas ikrah hafna, u jekk xi darba jinqalalek xi inkwiet jista jintuza kontrik.

I’m not excusing, I’m explaining.

I know you have great respect for the army, and I do too, but the above behaviour cannot be excused on the grounds of frustration.

Although not a traditional military duty, their work with immigrants still falls into a broad definition of soldiery. If they’re not trained to do the job properly, then they should be.

Saying that he didn’t sign up for the job is simply untrue. In 2009, Christian Borg Cini was still studying at the tourism institute. This means that when he signed up for army duty, he knew full well that the AFM works with immigrants. It has been doing so for well over a decade now so new recruits have no excuse.

The above behaviour results from racism, ignorance and a lack of awareness about what should be public and what should be kept private and not just frustration.

It also results from superiors not being strict about things like Facebook use.

Facebook is a social media tool to connect and share information with friends and acquaintances. All persons from the highest leaders to the lowest grade employee should be judged on their performance in office and not on their private lives or their free time activities.

[Daphne – How wrong you are. Employers are right to question the private behaviour of their employees if it impacts negatively on their job or the perception of the company they work for. And this more so when so many of these people post their stupid photos and remarks while giving their place of employment in the ‘About’ section. Of course employers are correct in objecting to that. Damn shame the Police Commissioner and the commanding officer of the Maltese army don’t feel any similar concern.]

He is not acting in good faith.
