I say hmmm..... becasue of what i just read on spins blog.  I can't help but feel a little responsible for it (quite a bit responsible to tell the truth). i won't lie to you, i'm quiet pleased that if you search for my previous employer and add the word sucks, my old blog is the second hit. when everyone started cracking down on these in the first place it was me and they told me to stop - i remember that day, after the meeting i went to my supervisors supervisor and explained my actions and was completey validated - (content wasn't the problem it was when content was submitted) that was the first time.

i remember a second time my supervisor walked over to my desk and had me type in a buisness website of a partner of ours and asked me if i knew them - i said no - he said well they know you. (I later found out they had informed my company that needed to take a look at me and take some action)

last time was the biggest of all i had been fed up and sent a respectfully heated response all the way up to the ceo of our parent company and posted it on my blog i was reprimanded for that one becasue i was sharing internal email adresses of higher ups - but i tell you one thing that email literally saved my job a boss of mine was attempting to fire me in the same hour, fortunately for me his boss wasn't very pleased with him and came to talk to me directly - soon after the former boss left the company

I don't know if it made a difference to anyone else but for me i felt like i hade done something to make my corner of the world better which is a big reason why i went against the grain - i just hated to watch something i percieved to be wrong go unchecked.

so all in all i'm proud of what i did and was happy to see that it upset someone so much becasue it makes them have to think about what they're doing

i hope spin continues on because i really enjoy reading his work related posts
