He was fired for sharing a meme on his Facebook profile

Memes are one of the engines of the Internet. We see them on Twitter, on Instagram, we share them on WhatsApp and, of course, they also upload them to Facebook.

Of course, what for some may be an innocent joke, for others can be grounds for dismissal. This happened to Cody Hidalgo, a young man from Michigan, United States, who shared a meme with a picture of Elmo in your profile on the social network. What did he say? This:

"The boss wins a dollar, I earn money. That's why I go to the bathroom at the time of the company"says the picture, a classic of the Web.

Shortly after his assignment, the leader began sending messages to him, attacking him and firing him. "They kicked me out for that"Cody wrote, sharing his meme again and the texts his superior sent him. "

The dialogue between Cody and his boss says the following.

"We do not make a buck when you're in the bathroom all the time, so why do not you stay at home?" I do not like playing your shit games … Maybe a company holds your games because I do not want. Good luck, "he wrote, and Cody replied," What are you talking about? "

"Look on your Facebook page, do you think things are not moving?" Replied the boss.

Cody explained that it was just a fun meme and that he downloaded it on a Sunday while he was not working. But he did not convince Andy. "You talked about work on a Sunday," he concluded, to no longer respond to the comments of the man returned by a member.

Cody's message has received thousands of comments and reactions. And it exploded when he shared it on Twitter @ChrisCaesar, where he received about 50,000 "I like".

After the viralization of history, people have discovered the name of the company that launched the young man: Roman Stone Works. The company received so many comments that it had to close its Facebook page.
