Blogging at work?
Who blogs at work anyway? But if you do, it could get you fired, according to this piece in the Christian Science Monitor.
Last month, the Society for Human Resource Management surveyed 279 human resources professionals and found that 3 percent had disciplined employee bloggers. While the firings are “certainly not an epidemic,” employers need to deal with blogging, says Mr. Hopkins, who runs a blog himself. “It’s too easy to do, it’s too fun to do, it’s too rewarding to do. People will keep doing it.”
There certainly is no way that corporations can tolerate something that is fun and rewarding in the work place. Heck, if they dont crack down on the bloggers now, everybody may begin to expect fun and rewarding experiences while on the job.
My advice, if you are going to blog at work, don’t write about how crappy your job and co-workers are.
