Writing is also an art, not everybody is able to write insightful yet civilised text, it might be better to seek some coaching at the start. Perhaps searching Google for the beginner's guide for publishing on the internet might help - not that i'm aware of anything of that kind. It's great that the web makes it easy for anyone to publish stuff, sadly it's never been this easy for all kinds of stupidity to hit the masses at lightning speed.
Writing flames on a blog is the same as releasing the hounds on a prey, you're publicly calling for others to have a go at your organisation. What's the point in that? Why do you bother calling in everyday?
If possible i would avoid hiring anyone with a past history of flaming their current employers on their blogs, chances are they will do it again.
My advices, if you've got to get it out of your chest and you still want to stay with your employer:
- Keep it private. Most tools allow this. And indeed blogging is reminiscent of personal diaries, which everyone knows usually are really private or published only after their owners are dead or feel they're done with.
- Back home we have a saying that Everyone loves the village idiot, but noone brags about him
/her being family. Don't be the village idiot. - Talk to your boss in private - Many times this can actually work, unless your boss really doesn't like your brand of aftershave - that can't be helped. Take your boss out for a drink and let it all out. If he/she sacks you for that you can still blog it that the pointy-haired nitwit (TM) never got it. But then you're gone from the company, exactly my point.
