Blog #1

I don’t think employees should be allowed to criticize their employers in a public forum such as a blog. To me, that seems like they’re just asking to be fired. I can understand that people do not like their jobs and need a place to vent, but doing so on a public forum, in a blog, or on any other form of social networking site is immature. Employees may feel more obligated to vent on something like a blog rather than to their employer’s face because they can hide behind the internet and say how they truly feel, but this won’t solve any problems that are between the employee and his/her employer. In fact, more conflict will probably arise if the employer stumbles upon the posts. People need to realize that anything they say on the internet can be seen by almost anyone and it can easily be taken out of proportion and come back to bite you.
