lpret's Journal: Corporate Blogging

First off, let me say that we have resolved most of the issues from my last post, it's been an -- opportunity, but it's good.

Now, here's my new idea. I saw a thing on the frontpage about corporate blogging and I had no idea what it was. However, one of the explanations (which it is not) that I came up with is that it is a way for everyone in a company to be able to blog anonymously about their job. More broadly, about the company and what they really feel. Everyone's blogging would be anonymous and treated equally. So the lowly data entry guy could share his vision for the company, and the CEO could share his. Or specific complaints. On the whole, I think this would be an interesting way to share ideas/complaints without having to take the blame for them. Perhaps this would allow the CEO to see more exactly what the company's feelings are, etc. What do you think?

It sure SOUNDS like a good idea....

It is a good idea, but can you imagine the infighting that would occur when people were totally honest and thought they were anonymous? People would be weasels about things to get promoted to get others fired. Good ideas have no place in business.
