In 2012, a burger king employee anonymously posted an image on 4-chan of him putting his feet in lettuce, with the caption: "This is the lettuce you eat at Burger King." It took 20 minutes for people to track down the branch the employee worked at and contact the news. He was promptly fired.

I doubt 4chan stripped image metadata at the time.

Edit: yep it did not.

These workers aren't the ones to worry about, it's the ones who do it and don't post it online.
