Blogging


Today's SF Chronicle has an article about the dangers of blogging about your job. Ellen Simonetti was fired from her job at Delta for posting "inappropriate" photos of herself on her blog. The one I relate to best is Peter Whitney:

Whitney, who worked for a brokerage owned by Wells Fargo, said he wrote about everything in his blog (gravityspike.blogspot.com), including gripes about work. For instance, the 27-year-old Seattle resident recalls complaining about having to chip in to buy a birthday card for a manager at work that he didn't consider a friend. The manager wasn't pleased when she later read the comments.

"She said her feelings had been hurt,'' said Whitney, who was an administrative assistant for Wells Fargo's Ragen MacKenzie unit.

How many times have I had to sign a card for someone at work wanting to sign it, "Happy Birthday and why do we still pay you?"

So beware what you write... Posted by Hello
