When I worked at WPRO, it was made very clear to EVERYONE.

"Citadel employees are 'forbidden' to post on 'Radio Information' type sites. To do so is grounds for termination."

That was a memo we ALL recieved. Has something changed? Walter

Good luck enforcing it. :)
 
Enforcing it is difficult although if management strongly enough suspects a poster to be someone working there,other reasons can be concocted for termination. The trick is not to leave any footprints when you post & sometimes even play dumb about a topic you actually know the inside info about. Also bear in mind when a fight breaks out it's not all that unusual for one poster to call someone out on the board. Skynet if you were an employee I think you'd last about 12 minutes before being outed.
 
Here's the point,While I was at PRO I never posted here or any other radio board, because thats what I agreed to.
If I didn't like it,I could of quit.
Think about it.
Would you want someone that worked for you to agree to the rules and then lie?

WPRO is a private enity. They can make rules.
If the idea is to try and see how many rules you can break, what does that say about you? Walter.
 
It's none of the station's business what employees do outside of the work, especially when they are not on the company's time. If the employee has a run-in with the law or something like that, that's a different story. Posting on a message board is none of Sh*tadel's business.

I disagree. Disclosing confidentail company information whether on or off the clock would be the station's business. If a management person is aware of an impending staff change and also for employees who have access to the programming research particularly when a station spends six figures in programming research, posting it in a public forum would be grounds for termination no matter where you were (home or work) when you posted it.

Read back Ace. The policy stated ""Citadel employees are 'forbidden' to post on 'Radio Information' type sites. To do so is grounds for termination."

That's overly broad and unreasonable.

If the policy said "disclosing confidential company information" that would be reasonable.

Exactly.The main reason management doesn't like employees posting is the circulating of rumors or leaking out confidential information.Also taking out aggressions on co-workers anonymously.I doubt anyone really frowns on just plain radio discussion.When it comes to rumors though let's face it.They start within the station so they're coming from someone who has access to information that probably shouldn't even be discussed with staff members.
 
I believe they didn't want Citadel employees to have MySpace's for awhile...but that was obviously stopped...now having the stations have MySpaces.
 
Not all Citadel employees are instructed not to post...that may have been a WPRO rule, but not Citadel in general

Hey now that's a new piece of info. It makes sense too since Ron St. Pierre actually referred to this place as a piece of crap! So not posting here may have been a rule that he actually made up.
