You're not just an 8 hour or 1/3 employee. If you work for a company, most everyone will associate you with your employer. Whatever you say or do will be taken in a certain context. This is especially true if you are talking about specific products or services the company you work for offers. The people you talk to will believe you because you are an insider. Why wouldn't they? What if a baseball player said he hated the St. Louis Cardinals, but was employed by the Cardinals? Doesn't work does it? Nope. You are part of a team whether you like it or not. Some people just think they are the 1 man team. I definitely agree. You’re not just an 8 hour or 1/3 employee. If you work for a company, most everyone will associate you with your employer.

It's the notion that once you are clocked out of work, that you have no responsibility toward that company whatsoever, until your work day begins again. I will never understand that way of thinking. I believe that when you work for a company, you are, in reality, signing on for a 24/7 position. You have to represent that company at all times. An example.. me working for a telecommunications company... now if I went out telling everyone, ON MY OWN TIME, that the company had crap phone service and I wouldn't get it, would you, the person I'm telling this to, want to go get your service from this company? NO WAY! At the very least, where's people's loyalty to their source of bread and butter?? If you can't respect your employer enough to uphold the company at all times, then I think you should be working elsewhere. One more thing...if people start shooting the "freedom of speech" rights out there.. don't bother! There's no such thing!
