Blogging is all fun and games, until the boss finds out - Feb. 14, 2005

Check out this article posted on CNN. Blogging can cost you your job, unless you write nice things about your place of employment. But, seriously, why was he blogging from his workplace? Do you mean to tell me that people use the internet from their work computers?!?! NO!!! Tell me it isn't so! :-)

Seriously, controlling internet use at the workplace is becoming a bigger and bigger problem throughout corporate America. You better think twice before you type that e-mail to your friend from your work account telling him/her about how your boss sucks. Take my word for it. I know people personally that have been fired for such things. Resist the urge! Don't be fooled -- there is no privacy on the internet, particularly from your work computer. If there is something you would not say with your boss standing next to you, then don't say it in an e-mail. If you wouldn't go to that web site with your boss standing over you, then don't go to that web site while you're at work.
