Comment on Publish Your Workparent

Comments

Why would you lose your job for posting about and publishing your personal projects?

Conflict of interest and retaliation.

Just last week my friend told me a senior manager in a meeting made a passive aggressive comment about “I don’t know why the team is so busy and can’t take on more work right now, when they seem to have time working on other personal projects”. Referring directly to someone that was in their org who had just posted about some personal project work on LinkedIn.

It happens all the time…companies don’t like (or don’t approve) of work outside of work.
