writing one sided stories about your business relations in public, like this, is not ethically correct, in my opinion.

- moistgorilla 14y agoYou probably didn't read the article. I came into it with a similar mindset.
- bmelton 14y agoEven if the article was entirely positive, I personally wouldn't want anyone to know when and where I was applying. What if I were happily employed elsewhere when that interview occurred? I don't want somebody that didn't hire me to have any sway on my current employment unless it's where I'm working at the time. In this case, Dan personally reviewed and approved the article, but that wasn't known at the time (nor was it disclosed), so the caution was certainly warranted.
- masterzora 14y agoCaution is certainly warranted but assuming that they did wrong rather than asking if they did right is generally a bad way to go.
- quintendf 14y agoDan reviewed this post in its' entirety before it was published. I gave him final say on whether or not it was published or submitted here. I agree that personal stories like this should have the approval of everyone involved before they are published.
- GavinB 14y agoI strongly suggest you add this to the post itself. If not early on, then at least at the end. My thought that "they probably let Dan sign off on this, but it would be good to know for sure" distracted from focusing on the broader point of your article.
- quintendf 14y agofair suggestion. I've added an edit to the end of the post which clarifies this.
- cesarpereira 14y agoI strongly agree with this point. I was also very distracted during this very good post wondering if Dan signed off on it before it was published. By the end I assumed that was the case, but the message would have been better served without the distraction.
- dshipper 14y agoDan here. Just want to back up what Quinten's saying. He went about it the right way and cleared the whole article with me before publishing it.
