Burger King Will Give You a Free Whopper If You Get Fired . . . But You Need to Humiliate Yourself on Social Media

If you get fired, I’m not sure that broadcasting to the world that you’ll sell yourself out for a $3 sandwich is the best way to start getting leads for your next job.  But what do I know?

Burger King is running a new promotion where you can get a FREE Whopper if you get FIRED.  But . . . to prove you got fired, you have to go onto LinkedIn and post a public message saying, “I got fired.  I want a free Whopper.  #whopperseverance.”

The first 2,500 people who do that will get a gift card sent to them for a free Whopper.  And considering how your professional contacts will probably view that posting, hopefully BK will throw in a job application too.  (Consumerist)
