This will be a short post, just to share some thoughts that accidentally came through my mind recently.
A friend of mine (Stefan) brought to my attention a new blog that I was not aware of. Its address is - http://vizibility.blogspot.com. Its posts are written in Bulgarian and specifically created to discuss and share thoughts and opinions on Vizibility - my ex-company.
Although I must agree with most of the things shared there (probably even all of them), I must express my doubts whether it is appropriate to have such kind of forum. I don't want to be misunderstood - every person, who wants to work somewhere deserves accurate information about the company, the people that are working there, the management and all other stuff. Any employee mustn't be misled with false promises, half truths and honest lies to join a company that is no match for his/her needs. However, a lot companies practice this kind of misleading policy for recruitment. Still, having an open blog that discusses all kinds of negative feedback on a particular company more or less predisposes over-exaggeration of facts and situations. Yep! Internet is an open and democratic structure that allows everyone's opinion to be expressed and heard and this blog may be just right.
On the other hand, I have always thought that when someone wants to say something he should always have that chance and be heard no matter whether it is right or wrong. And if his position is out of the truth there should be a right response. However, when I want to say something I say it and stand for my words. I don't hide behind nicknames and anonymous accounts.
I don't know who is the person behind that blog. It is certain that we have worked together in the company and most certainly we know each-other. I'm quite disappointed that he/she is not revealing his/her identity and I hope that honor and dignity will come to his/her senses and will he/she publicly reveal himself/herself.
I really think that people should know what's there and deserve it. So if this is the best way ... may be it will help. I'll still keep my feedback away from the public space but if there is a person wanting a feedback from me as an ex-employee of Vizibility Bulgaria - you can contact me any time. :)

The idea of the blog is to help people to learn more about the company. It is not necessary the blog to contain only "negative feedback" - it will contain any feedback from people worked or working there. Sometimes using nicknames instead of real names gives you the freedom to say everything you want to say- this can be either positive or negative. The purpose of the blog is not to blacken the company, just give a real idea for it. If the company is good enough - this can become even an advertisement ;)
