- mikeash 15y agoWhy should that have anything to do with anything we do when not in front of them?
- hexis 15y agoWhat gives you the impression that the things you do and say in public are not in front of them?
- mikeash 15y agoIf we're taking that definition, fair enough, but I don't think most of us would accept self-censorship in any public forum on the off chance that a client or customer might see it.
- famousactress 15y agoI respectfully disagree that you believe that's the definition. The presenter gave this talk and put it on the internet, with what I can only presume is her actual name. So I'd submit that she said things she has no problem with her clients/customers/employers seeing or hearing. My guess is that when you use the word professional you mean things that you would say in front of your clients/customers/employers, and that's what irks me about the term.
