Why is it such a very, very bad idea to disclose sensitive information about your employer? ?

To this day, I still have issues accepting the fact they fired me because of me mentioning the name of my company and it’s customer to a social Facebook group consisting of some 45,000 members. This is also the same Facebook group I troll by saying things like I support Hitler and so on. This group also has people believing in lie about me being a paedophile which they may have passed onto to my employer.

    I know.  I knew the first, second, third and so on time you asked this.

    The group has repeated what YOU said about being a pedophile. No one in the group made that up.  YOU POSTED IT.

    YOU also posted you were a resident in a mental health facility.

    I wouldn't want your name and my company name to be linked in any way.

    Because it is.  How would you like it if we disclosed EVERYTHING about your life?

    Stop trolling..... and pull up your pants while you are at it.

    Blabbermouth.  It is in poor taste and unethical.

    "This is also the same Facebook group I troll"

    That's not the only place you troll.   People here are kind of sick of you.

    For one, it shows a serious lack of good judgement on your part. Employers can be very touchy about their corporate image. Even just mentioning their name in a public forum can get you in trouble.

    Hey Yoshie I knew this was your question before I clicked on it.

    Yes it's a bad idea & it's a bad idea to keep bringing that bad idea up.

    Try leaving a trail of pleasantness instead chaos & misinformation.

    All the best mate.
