I've never really done that, my friends all have jobs.
I understand where you come from and tend to agree with you (my time, my business) but as an employee of any business you represent that business at work and away. Especially if you deal with customers face to face. "Hey there is that guy that sold me a car last week wasted and acting like an ass at the game." Plants a seed in your mind next time you are shopping for that car. So your employer should have all the freedom in the world to hire and fire whom they want to represent their business. Sucks but if it comes down to a pic on fb or something then they were just looking for a reason to fire you for since it is so hard to fire anyone today.

Amazing how some of your views change when you actually own a business. A lot of that BS your boss was telling you makes some sense.
