Well, not in my specific case, but in general. We were only discussing this very topic at the pub on Saturday. Employers are unscrupulous bastards and will stoop to anything, so keep your FB private and don't add your manager as a friend. Your manager is not your friend, ever, they are your boss. Also, when applying for a job, expect them to Google you.
If you're stupid enough to post on FB that you have a raging hangover and have called in sick, and anyone from work can see your profile, you deserve to be fired for being thick.

Well, I'm of the opinion that everyone deserves to play hookie every now and then, as long as it's not a habit. But I think a lot of people aren't as laid back as I am.
And luckily for me, you can't find me anywhere by googling my name. All you get is "pics of us at Disney world in April."

Was it supposed to be a HIPAA violation or something?

I would say it was because she was letting unauthorized people handle babies under intensive care.
