According to FOX 61 in Tennessee, the councilman – Dimitar Kerin – defended his game play by pointing to the fact his colleagues were also playing, so much so that they had reached a higher level him. Apparently that argument didn’t hold weight with the majority of the counsel though, as Kerin was narrowly voted out by a margin of 20-19.
Kerin was reportedly warned about his behavior several times before his ouster. And while he might be the first FarmVille firing (on record), it points to the broader trend of social media misdeeds leading to problems at work. Last year, a study found that 8 percent of companies had dismissed employees as a result of their actions on social media sites.
