Glynn, The tech-net has been through this vote once before and the majority of the users agreed that job postings should be allowed as part of normal business activities. If you want to screen the e-mail messages and then distribute them to your engineers that is your choice but this forum is for the free flow of technical information and as you know people will make job offers when they have the need for experienced people. Heck I get calls from headhunters all the time. If I were interested in switching companies there are many ways to accomplish it. You should trust your employees to communicate with you if they are unhappy. Tom Carroll, Senior Staff Engineer Hughes Aircraft Co. (310) 334-4757 [log in to unmask] _______________________________________________________________________________ Subject: Survey re Job Postings From: [log in to unmask] at CCGATE Date: 8/5/95 2:05 PM I have been silently reading all of the postings now for just about two months and I think this forum offers tremendous advantages to its members and the companies that allow their employees to participate. As a short-cut to problem solving, it has no equal so I am considering granting access for my engineering and technical staff and encouraging active participation. Yet as the president and owner of my own pcb manufacturing company, I have mixed emotions about the recent increase in "jobs available" postings. These postings offer both positive and negative benefits: A) TechNet is the perfect place to advertise for experienced and technically-oriented individuals B) Clearly, I don't want my best engineers lured away by targeted mailings from my competitors C) If one of my employees is dissatisfied and looking for another job, then should I really be overly concerned if he finds a position on TechNet D) If my employees are being solicited, then I have a right to solicit. I can go on and on, but you see my quandary. Do I post my openings or not? If I don't post and my competitors do, then should I allow uncensored access to this forum by my technical staff? As members of this forum, I think we all have a voice. What is your vote.... Do we want companies to post their job openings to this forum? The following is an attached File item from cc:Mail.
