They also forbid any involvement with political campaigns...whether paid or volunteer. Wow. <br /><br />I know there's the "right job" out there somewhere...and this one was NOT it. :)Tracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16659946702584728654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16417107.post-33507161348205084882012-07-24T16:33:55.676-04:002012-07-24T16:33:55.676-04:00People may think it's not the best decision fo...People may think it's not the best decision for you to give up a job because of a blog, but think of what you are saving yourself from in the process. Even if your current boss that hires you is kind, that policy speaks to the type of larger environment where you'll be working - one where they don't sound like they put a lot of faith or trust in the people they hire. And while it is reasonable for an employer to restrict what you do in a professional realm - like not being paid to blog for someone else as a conflict of interest with the writing you are doing for them, etc., it's not reasonable to restrict your personal life. Something great is out there for you somewhere. Take this experience as a sign that your talent is appreciated, now you just need to find the person worthy of it.Thoughts & Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14939338922606632859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16417107.post-84907360525318496912012-07-22T15:46:50.175-04:002012-07-22T15:46:50.175-04:00Beyond reasonable...that is a great way to describ...Beyond reasonable...that is a great way to describe it! I totally get a "no blogging while at work" rule (for an office job), or a "don't mention your job on your blog" rule. But this? No way. Oh, and they also forbid their employees from working on any type of political campaign - whether you're a volunteer or paid staff. One more thing they didn't mention in the interview. And as a social media manager for a congressional campaign, that doesn't fly with me either.Tracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16659946702584728654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16417107.post-92141155029786194152012-07-22T09:36:13.085-04:002012-07-22T09:36:13.085-04:00Wow!

I get being asked not to blog about work on a personal website, but this is beyond reasonable. I can't even imagine how they can rationalize that at all.
