A girl has got fired via Twitter before she even started her new job because she was caught badmouthing her job on social media by her boss.

The Twitter user Cella, who was due to start a new job working at a pizzeria, posted "Ew I start this f*ck ass job tomorrow," but her alleged original tweet no longer appears on her account, the Mirror reported.

Then her boss Robert waple, who rarely uses Twitter, replied to Cella "And....no you don't start that FA job today! I just fired you! Good luck with your no money, no job life!"

He explained that he doesn't usually Tweet, but have had an account forever and when one of his workers sent him a pic of the tweet, he thought he'd respond.

The boss revealed that Cella's prospective duties would have been working register, taking phone orders, making subs/salads and eating free pizza, which would not have been hard.
