derekleffew's Avatar I and several others here do not disclose publicly where we work. In some cases the employer actually forbids it, for others it's to ensure that what we say here cannot in any way be mistaken as speaking for "the company."

From this article on NPR's site:
Quote:
And outside the workplace, personal blogs or social media pages on services like Twitter or Facebook offer no refuge. Asked if workers can be fired for things they write on those sites, Maltby said, "Absolutely. Happens every day."

Attached is a memo that makes quite clear one anonymous company's policies. It might be a good idea for everyone to check with his/her company to see if such a policy exists and how to be compliant while still being an active and productive member of ControlBooth and other online communities.

dvsDave's Avatar No one has a perfectly ordered, perfectly smoothly running theatre. (They just don't exist in our imperfect world)

So, what is the Number One thing that you wish you could change to make your theatre and/or job easier/faster/better/stronger?? Don't tell me about something you can buy, tell me about a product or service that doesn't yet exist.

STEVETERRY's Avatar Note from mbenonis: The author of this article makes a number of generalizations that are misleading at best and factually incorrect at worst. See the thread in the Sound Forum for a better synopsis, and see the following link for the full details:

F.C.C. Orders Wireless Mike Modifications


By MATT RICHTEL
Published: January 15, 2010

SAN FRANCISCO — Broadway theaters, sports franchises and other public entertainment forums must change the radio frequency they use for their wireless microphones under an order issued Friday by the Federal Communications Commission.

Under the order, the groups have until June 12 to find other radio frequencies, something the theaters said could cost thousands of dollars per institution but that they can do.

The F.C.C.’s ruling relates to a broader shift in the way the nation allocates precious spectrum used to transmit signals for mobile phones, TVs and other devices. The commission said the transition was necessary to make spectrum in the 700-megahertz band available for use by next-generation wireless services for consumers and public safety agencies.

Use of much of that spectrum has been licensed for around $20 billion by major wireless carriers.

Broadway theaters and other groups, like sports leagues, had hoped to maintain some slice of the spectrum because they said it would be too disruptive to change. They argued that their use would not interfere with the new spectrum uses.

Still, Thomas Ferrugia, director of government relations for the Broadway League, a trade group, said that many theaters had anticipated the commission ruling and begun to develop alternative plans.

Art Brodsky, a spokesman for Public Knowledge, a consumer advocacy group, said the F.C.C.’s order was important because the spectrum vacated could be used by entrepreneurs seeking to come up with new wireless services. “By moving the wireless microphones out of their current spectrum, it clears the way for a whole new generation of wireless services,” he said.
