Embarrassing

Today at work I got a phone call from my operations manager. She's a pretty cool lady and we chatted a little bit before getting to the purpose of her call, which was "purely informative", I wasn't in trouble. She told me that the company I work for has a thing called a "google alert" which sends an alert-email to the department heads and upper managers in the company every time something is published publicly on the internet with the name of my company in it. The purpose is to help them keep track of what is being said about them in newspapers, online magazines, bulletins, and other internet sources of information. She explained all of this to me before mentioning that it even extends to blogs, and after my recent post regarding "Career Developments", regional vice presidents, marketing directors, operations managers, and I have no idea who else has now reviewed my blog to discover what has been said about the company I work for (notice I am not using its name -- I have no idea how sensitive it is). Oops. Good thing I just had good things to say, right? We actually had a good laugh about it over the phone... Then I went and re-read what I had wirtten. Yeah, it was all good, but of course I had to say things like "I will be in perfect position to take over this property when the present manager leaves in a year"... Embarrassing. Well, I guess now they have advance-advance notice that I am interested in the position whenever it becomes available, right? I guess you live and learn. Everybody just be careful what you say about your job on public websites. Unless you are quitting and you hate your job and want them to know how much you hated working for them, or you want to get your boss in trouble.
