Shocked & Appalled

Random rants

5/26/2004

The Harvard Crimson has a story about an office worker who included a link to her personal web site in all her work email. The web site had a link to her blog, where she posted random thoughts including rants about her boss and co-workers, mentioned by name, and lines such as "I am two snotty e-mails from professors away from bombing the entire Harvard campus."

Not surprisingly, when a supervisor discovered this, she was placed on leave, and the HR department got involved. The story says she has since deleted her blog, "replacing the archives with a single entry: "Voyeurism is bad. Please go peep someplace else, Tom." "

Yes. The problem is that people are voyeurs, for looking at the journal that you publish on the Internet and direct people to through work-related communication.

How dare they.
