The mods have noticed a bit of a trend lately - mostly among newer members - where someone will post information revealing where they work, usually by outright stating something like "I work at Wal-Mart."
While there is no rule here on the forum against doing that, we can't stress enough that it is not a good idea to reveal such information. For better or for worse, more and more companies are searching the web for instances of employees doing or saying anything that can be construed as libeling or otherwise besmirching or reflecting badly on the company (and if anyone wishes to discuss that, please do so on Fratching!).
There have in fact been incidents right here on CS where employers have done exactly that and the mods have had to remove threads or even hide entire accounts to safeguard the members in question.
So please, be very careful to limit the information you reveal here. While we are willing to help by deleting/editing/hiding threads and posts as necessary, it is FAR easier and less stressful for everyone if a little common sense is exercised when it comes to these things.
Ultimately, if anyone does decide to reveal where they work or any other identifying information, they do so at their own risk! We can not be responsible for the consequences.
