Freedom to Blog? November 11, 2005 In the UK, a controversial website, that lampoons Magic Circle firms, rollonfriday.com, has begun a trend of law firm associates and staff members creating blog sites to criticize their employers and clients. The problem appears to be that people spend so much time on the web doing legitimate work for their firms, that the line between work and personal life becomes blurred. David Kaufman, an attorney, HR expert and author of Blogs@Work (coauthored with Deborah Weinstein), suggests that employers amend the provisions of their employment manuals to prohibit postings that include confidential client or firm information that could be considered harassment of clients, vendors or fellow employees. |
