Employees should not be allowed to criticize their employers in public forums, such as a blog. Internet communication is essential in today’s business, since this is a digital age. However, when this medium of communication is misused by using it against certain employers, it can cause a lot of harm on the companies’ and most importantly on the employers’ eminence. It can also cause a decline in the number of recruitment due to a bad stature. Blogging was majorly designed for the purpose of customer and employee relation, but in recent times some employees are mishandling it by disclosing confidential information, criticizing the management, and presenting interests that are in conflict with the company policies. Therefore, the employees involved are violating their loyalty towards the company. Loyalty in a company encompasses confidentiality, and obedience. According to a principle set in American law known as, ‘at will employment,’ states that the law permits employers to discharge employees who are found disloyal to the company. When an employee criticizes his manager using a public forum, he is no more than a sheep behind a fox skin. In matters of problems between employers and employees, I am in agreement with my fellow bloggers, who think the only way to sort these problems out is by face to face discussions.
