Reminder: Think before you post
-
This isn't a private club, anyone anywhere any time can read these posts. We've all seen in the news lately a lot of people getting fired for being truly stupid and posting corporate secrets or critical rants about their employers on their blogs. This will only get more common I believe. How many bosses do you think are also reading the news and are thinking "*we* should check into what our staff are posting online". I've read a few posts over the years here that were critical and revealing of their employers or their company's policies in such a way that would certainly get them reprimanded at the very least if they worked for me. A public forum is not the place to do this. Remember that you're not just putting your current job at risk, but any future one as well. You're leaving a permanent record online that shows you can't be trusted with privileged information or that you may have bad judgement. If you want to point to your articles here in your resume it's pretty easy for someone to read your posts here as well out of curiousity etc. Or just as a matter of course in doing a check on a potential employee. I think the golden rule of the internet still applies: Never type anything into an email or on a blog or public forum that you would not want to hear read aloud in court at some later date or wouldn't want your current or future potential employer to read. I can afford to be a bastard as I'm my own employer but I'm concerned about you wage slaves! ;)

On a related note...think, before you go off on a rant about your spouse or admit to acts that might be used against you in divorce court or criminal court, as the case may be.

I agree that trade secrets should be kept secret, but if you are refering to plain criticism of an employer - if they are going to sift through endless rants that you have made in the past, well you'd probly be better off without that job. Employment is a two way street remember. You need the loyalty, goodwill and feeling-that-they-are-trusted of employees to suceed.

Back in the old relay-mail bbs days it was considered extremely bad form to not use your real name. I still adhere to that philosophy even though I know most people don't these days. If forces you to not say things you wouldn't really say in person to someone. I give just that little bit less credence to someone not willing to use their real name.

I don't know why but CP keeps putting my reply to someone else below your message. re: your message I disagree completely for the reasons I stated before it will haunt you with future employers and show you are a "bad apple". If ranting is more important than employment then by all means rant away.
