I have been off Destructoid for a while now *shameful admission* due to working.....oh. Wait. I can't legally mention that!
Oh, and thanks :D
Oh, and thanks :D
@Reaper: I completely agree. Besides the form I signed merely stated that I had "READ and UNDERSTOOD". I could see no mention of anything more specific.
Wha? Surely if you mention no names they cant do a damn thing legally? I mean, everyone talks about their working days, even on Destructoid, and so long as you dont give away any privvy information (Diablo 3 release date plz? :-D) surely its just like talking with a friend about your day. Only online. And by yourself. But the point is...how could they even know, unless you tell them?
Failing that, become e-anonymous: call yourself 'ninjagirl2121' or whatever new alias, get a nondescript avatar and become untraceable. Actually ninjagirl2121 has a nice ring to it, I think ill go swindle some millionaires. To the innerwebs! Also, great read: That air-wick bit made me lol.

I always thought those rules were bullshit. I can see if you're doing it AT work, but your job shouldn't have any say at all when it comes to what you do/say/drink on your own time. If they're going to start claiming that time, you should claim it on your paycheck. It's ridiculous.
Also, welcome back :D
Also, welcome back :D
I'm with Silverhertz... Fight the power! The internet let's you be anonymous. If you post on another SN, without mentioning things that could link back to you, and an avatar that isn't your picture... AND you use a proxy server to upload your blogs, you should damn well be able to get away with putting whatever you want out there... Remember, we are many.
welcome back. Can't say I can sympathize or anything though =P. I could come to work in PJ's, piercings and a brightly died mohawk and I doubt anyone would care.
Yeah its a shame they are doing this but I don't think they have a strong set of legs to stand on. There are disclosure agreements but really that should just be to avoid releasing information about the company while on company time that could be slanderous, confidential or cause for legal retribution by say a customer that didn't like what was said about them.
But if you keep it super anonymous there really isn't much they could do. Just don't mention or promote your blog with any workmates or anyone that might let it get back to work that includes using company property to access said site. But I personally would not go as far as DynamicSheep said and try to filter your connection via a proxy servercause they are violating some major privacy laws if they go that far(though if they are really slimy bastards or you want to be a little misceivious it can't hurt). It should take a warrant to subpeona those records and unless you post something that constitutes a crime you will have a handy lawsuit on both you isp and the game store.
But even if you can't talk about game store work now there is no reason not to talk about other things. But keep a diary of all the really good dirt for us and publish a nice flood of post when you move on from there.
