Interestingly Enough

I felt that I really needed to post one of my older articles from a few months back which you can find directly below this one. It is called, Does Your Business Need A Blog Policy?

People are still being fired from their jobs on a regular basis for the comments they post on the internet mainly in Blogs. Just look at what happened in the case of AAA where 27 worker's were fired for comments they made. These workers I feel probably got what they deserved for many reasons. However, having a policy in place before you get to this step can do a lot for both the employer's and the employee's involved in such cases.

Although the article refers to Blogs specifically it is not just Blogs alone that should be included here. It should go for any area that a person posts information that is readily accessible to the general public.

While some feel this violates certain rights, it has also been upheld in the courts as an extension of the workplace. This will be a topic that will probably be debated for quite sometime.

In the meanwhile, think before you post any of your comments. Is it going to be worth your job if it comes to that.
