Complaining about your company

Even the best job in the world has its bad days. Maybe you had a tough customer. Maybe that project you have worked on for months was suddenly canceled. We all have bad days at work.

In the past, you would call up your friend or go to the bar with your coworkers for a drink. You could bad mouth your boss or your company and that would be it. These days we connect more digitally than in person. We often think nothing of tweeting or posting on Facebook.  The trouble comes when you post something negative about your company.

Never post negative comments about your boss, your company or your clients.

It is disloyal to your company. It is also harmful to you. You could lose your job. You could be overlooked for a promotion.  It could be as simple as your life being more complicated because your boss is just plain mad at you.   You could even face a lawsuit from the company or the client.

Think twice before you post your company's dirt laundry online. It is the best decision for everyone involved.
