The dismissal resulting from various reasons such as downsizing, performance or behaviour is an integral part of working life. With advancing technology and the common usage of social media tools that people can access anywhere, the reasons for dismissal have changed. The purpose of the study is to determine whether employees' social media posts is a cause of dismissal. Social media posts of employees are evaluated in the context of dismissal and privacy. In the research, examples which are the representative of dismissal and social media phenomena are examined in depth using the case study method, which is among the qualitative research types. As a result of the research, it is seen that the employees' posts on social media platforms could be the reason of dismissal. It is also revealed that sharing the holiday photo from the beach on social media when the employee is on sick leave, insulting human resources management from social media, describing the labour contract as a contract of slavery, sharing photos from workplace which includes logo of the institution that disrupts the business discipline may be the reason for dismissal. The most important contribution of the study is to examine the dismissal phenomenon due to social media in the context of self- exposure and surveillance, which are modern threats to privacy. Now, social media has become an evaluation factor for employers not only in recruitment but also in dismissal.
