But they used to do it with friends, coworkers, and sometimes customers over drinks. But they do say 100 times more positive things online. And now you it’s all on their permanent record and they should have a clear idea of the consequences of their actions.</p><p>So you may as well keep it out in open rather than drive it underground. Because they’ve always been talking about you and the company anyway. Only now that word of mouth can be Googgled.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://jimmy-gilmore.com/2009/10/when-employees-tweet-their-mouth-off/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
