No blogging about work / company, otherwise . . .

Lucky this is not a national regulation, otherwise all bloggers in Singapore will die of boredom, because you will not be able to blog about anything relating to work.

The first company that has imposed this regulation is Singapore Airlines, popularly known as SIA. This was announced yesterday.

They have formerly announced to all staffs, regardless of level of seniority, that they are not supposed to discuss, talk, blog, or share anything that is related to their work or the company itself. They have also been warned not to post picures of themselves taken within work premises.

Serious disciplinary actions will be taken to any employees of SIA who violate this regulation.

Apparently this regultion was put in place after an employee of SIA splashed his photos all over his blog and Facebook, and he even posted pictures of the cabin of the SIA carriers.

His deed was exposed after local media picked up his "stories" and "photos" from his "tell-all" blog.

We, as bloggers, should make a conscious effort not to blog about work or our company because sooner or later it will surface, more so if its something negative.

I remember there was an intern who got into trouble with my previous company after he passed comments about the company policies in his blog, and one fine day, one of the directors clicked on his link when he Googled his company name.

Can you see how dangerous it is to blog about work-related issues now?

Its never too late to stop.

Unless your identity has been anonymous since day 1, otherwise I would suggest you remove any posts that you think might cause potential problems for you in future.

(Nang me if you have not!)
