Snow White and the Oscars

Some may recall the children’s story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.  The Dwarfs were known to whistle while they worked.  Supposedly, whistling made them happy, and happy workers work better.

Wow, how times have changed.  The new side activity to work may be tweeting.  Unlike whistling, tweeting apparently does not make one work better, but make mistakes.  Just ask PWC.

I have blogged about the problems of social media use before.  In doing so again, I will simply add – think twice before you decide it is necessary to tweet, post, respond etc… while you are to be working.  The effects of a mistake can be devastating to you and your employer.
