Re: Monday, August 26, 2002
-- And now here's the exquisite irony: employees are going to blog anyway. The best policy for any company is to do right by their employees and trust that their employees will do right by the company. Good will makes good news. -- and one way the company can protect BOTH sides is, frankly, to make it clear up front "...and if you do these things, we will take you out behind the shed and do the 'old yeller' thing on out". May seem harsh, but if people are going to do it anyway, at least set the ground rules, so nobody's surprised (and it saves on the whiney lawsuits). Ozzie's stuff was wonderful. Recognizes reality, but understands there are limits. In my rather casual wandering through the blogs the last couple of weeks, I've seen two or three instances of folks who've been fired because the boss found the blog, upset because mom did, etc. As if magically the folks they're talking about won't hear about it? heh. Since I tend to be fairly high profile in areas and sometimes get involved in discussions that involve my employer, I have to walk that tightrope. I've worked out where my management wants the limits to be, and I try to stay within them. but as I work to put up my blog, I'm going to be adapting Ozzie's stuff big-time. It's good, it works.
