It just is. But once someone's in the limelight, I guess it's fair game? I got my fair share of ribbing for my "national radio appearance yesterday..."
In a meeting I was in today, the subject of "employees-who-join-reality-shows-and-then-quit" was brought up. After visiting vernafelton.com, we got to know a bit more about her. Nearly everyone in the meeting was surprised she was an MS employee, so it's not a topic that's raging through the company, even though many of us watch the show. I have to admit that I haven't watched any of the shows on my PVR.
Did she do the right thing? I mean, sometimes the right thing to do is to walk away (at least that's what I tell my kids sometimes!). Do her actions make you think differently about the kind of employees that Microsoft hires?
Do your actions in public represent the image your company wants to portray? Does it matter what your company thinks?
