Sorry, today it’s just my local agenda..

During the first residential of Internet Cultures we have been told by Shaku that there are rules to know writing about our workplace in a personal blog. I didn’t know it and I was quite disappointed because I would have really like to say something about my own..

Anyway, this is not what I’m doing. I’m just linking an article of the Guardian. I’m not even saying that I work in that company.. But, actually, if something is already published, why I shouldn’t talk about it in my blog? Anyway, I don’t know how is the rule. So, in order to be on the right side, I just link the article..

And sorry… This is not for sure relevant as news from the world are. But it’s a little iniquity that deserves to be known.

I don’t think you’re breaking any rule, you’re not revealing any information considered to be reserved, the Observer is.
In any case, I think that this way of keeping card-tips away from waiters’ pockets sounds very similar to stealing, not such a fair behaviour by Tragus Management (money just don’t go where customers think, call it as you wish, but it sounds stealing to me).

Thanks for the link! I for one will certainly be paying cash more often having read this article. I will also make a point of asking about the service charge policy.

I agree – perhaps there are times we shouldn’t be scared of getting the sack – revealing small iniquities is very important and I’m all for it. Anyway, in this instance, you simply passed on info that was already in the public domain.
