Very familiar. Click here for full Minding the Workplace column.

Hogwash!
Wednesday, February 28th, 2018From a recent department email:
“As you all know, there is the issue of confidentiality in our meetings. Department by-laws explicitly state that department meetings are confidential (IV.B.5. on p.7). The only public record that can come out of the meeting is the approved minutes. Any other publication, including a blog post, violates the by-laws, and potentially be the basis for disciplinary action.”
