Corporate Blogs, From Bellyache To Headache

An anonymous reader writes "The Washington Post is running an article about corporate blogging and the headaches that come with it. From the article: 'Like anonymous blogs supposedly written by employees of Microsoft Corp. and Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the BearingPoint blog is, in many ways, just like happy-hour conversations that employees are apt to hold after work. They gripe about inane training programs, grouse about absurd corporate policies and ruminate about management incompetence. But transferred to cyberspace, where the audience is global, the management headaches associated with such grumblings become instantly more severe.'"

I learned my lesson 15 years ago

Those usenet postings are just a search away on Google groups. Sometimes I pull a few up just to shiver at what an idiot I was. Heh, maybe in 15 years I'll be Googling my old slashdot posts. Posting on the internet is like getting a tatoo only a tatoo is easier to erase.

But they'll just fire everyone instead.
unless you work for state/federal government. we have all the "inane, absurd and incompetent" (on a larger, more incompetent scale) without that "get fired" thing
