Scobie, the Microsoft geek with the most, offers these sage words:
It's not easy writing in public. All it takes is one paragraph to lose credibility, have people laugh at you, get you sued, create a PR firestorm, or get your boss mad at you. Think about that one for a while. Just a few hundred pixels on the screen can dramatically change what people think about you.
Very true, not that I know by experience, but when one sees common sense one knows what it looks like. I don't know if my workplace has a blogging policy (I doubt it though), however, I try to avoid talking about work on this blog (and trust me it isn't all that exciting to begin with, so I'm doing you a favor. Can I get fired for that? OH DEAR GOD! I didn't mean it! PLEASE! I NEED MY JOB!!!).
