Reply #7: TO MELUSETH, re: active third party [View All]

[markses]

Researching my identity, tracking me down, and reporting that subversive conversation to my employer in a deliberate attempt to interfere with my job and livelihood.

If I was in that restaurant, and my boss had the potential to be there, I would probably be more discreet, anyway. But who expects some random freeper to do something like this?

It's worrisome, and makes me rethink my participation here.

My response was solely to trumad's objection. Trumad argued that if he was fired every time he contemplated undermining an operation at work, he would have been fired incessantly. This may be true. However, I set out to show trumad that an analagous discovery of open and public discussion about undermining an operation, including solicitation of suggestions by those outside the organization, would lead to negative consequences for an employee in most cases. A third party is not essential for this point. The analogy is sufficient. Besides, since the third party did forward a transcript of the thread to the manager, it is just as if the manager were sitting in a booth directly behind the employee: the effect is the same. The sub-thread with trumad had a different point than our own discussion about cyberstalking, so it can proceed differently.
