Blogs and their impact on work life

I still remember few years ago one of my work buddies told me this story, he had created a new email address and sent this mail to every one saying hey guys here is my email, and here is my password, so do mail me. (no kidding that was when email was new), now the next generation has come blogging. We all were not born with a blog, lol everyone learns how to blog from someone else.

Nice to see every one is blogging, but one thing people dont realize is the negative impact it creates. Say an employee is blogging about something wrong with the company, it is being read by so many out there in the open world, that means a prospective candidate is not even going to think of applying to the company.

I was reading the blog of a frustrated employee, the point is every one has work life frustrations.

Blog is like mass email, you click the send button and it is gone no way to get it back :)

So it is good to keep frustrations within the boundaries of work life and discuss with the next reporting person in the food chain or the HR or look out for another employer rather than cursing on a public media.

Blog is like a diary, it may be interesting for someone to poke in to the secret diary of a person but does not make sense to expose your diary on the internet. (unless you are an open book with nothing to hide in your life).

By the way i did appreciate the thoughts of this person and agree 100% with him, but i just feel it is going to make things worse than raising his valid point.

Certain things just dont change since the foundation is all screwed up !!!
