Work is spying on me


The Internet is a cool yet spooky thing. They have tools out there that allow you to put in a word(s) and anytime that word(s) pop up on that Internet, you are informed of it and are shown where it is. My work set this so that whenever the name of our company is listed somewhere on the Internet, they are informed of where it is. In my last blog I wrote about the theft of my milk delivery. Because of the notification tool, half of the company then knew about this and was talking to me about it.

I know that when you put things on the Internet, it is available for the world to see. But it kind of freaked me out that my company is watching me and what I say, even outside of work. Same thing happened to me when I blogged about one of my favorite games. The Creator of the game then put a comment on my blog. I guess this was a good reminder that when you blog, the world is reading.

Had a fun weekend. I hooked up my stereo system, took a tour of the new Draper temple, got a haircut for me and my son, had a family birthday party at golden corral, had 3 families stop by for a visit, spoke in priesthood during church, was asked to speak in church next week, started my new calling of disaster preparedness specialist, cooked a full turkey dinner, hosted the Herrera family on Sunday evening and found time to watch that last 7 minutes of the Superbowl.

I need a vacation.

The same thing happened to me with my law firm. i posted the firm name in a blog when i announced my promotion, the next day i got a call from my boss asking me to remove it. They just want to make sure there name isn't being dragged through the mud.

Wow that is scary!!! I need to watch what I say. This is why my boyfriend refuses to have an internet presence. then again, it's a good way to complain about company's that you don't like too. Find some time to relax busy man.

You make a good point. If a company did you wrong and you complain about them on your blog. They will learn about it with this tool and if they are a good company. Will work to fix the problem.
