Has posting on this forum hindered your employment prospects?


Recommended Posts

Last night, after reading through some of the threads, it occured to me that some people invest quite alot of time on this forum, especially during working hours. Has this ever been mentioned at an annual performance appraisal?


So, as a consequence of this distraction, would you say that your professional progress may have suffered as a result of posting on the East Dulwich Forum, aswell as other message boards accessible at work?



As ever, I look forward to your response.

I'm a loafer-at-home (like many on here) with no boss to grovel to as such; but for me, posting on here is a symptom rather than a cause. If it wasn't this then it would doubtless be something else.


I'm lazy, easily distracted and lack focus. I expect I could double my earnings by fixing these things, but to be honest, I enjoy being lazy, distracted and lacking focus - which I guess means I can't be that bothered about the money either.

This forum and other forums has totally destroyed my career, I am millions of pounds worse-off and would definitely have been a Captain of industry by now if it wasn't for reading what's what on internet forums.

What a sheer waste of opportunity.

Interesting reading though (sometimes).

Ha ha. Yes, very good. I'm sure you've all had a good laugh. And perhaps the general self employed, freelance rule sets the trend in terms of where the EDF pulls its talent.


But is this humour distracting us from a more important question? Some of you will work in a contract position and have children. And surely, if you spent more time focused on your job and improving your chances of promotion than mooching about on here, then you'd be doing more to ensure and maintain a stable environment for them. What if, as a result of your constant presence on here, you lost your job? And in the process, put the stable environment your dependents rely on you to provide, at risk?


You certainly wouldn't be laughing then, would you.

It hasn't effected them so far, is what I'm getting from the answers. How about you, DJKillaQueen?


Oh, and to answer Jah Lush's question. I can certainly multi-task. But my job demands my presence all-over the place. And as a result, I'm away from my desk alot.

Nope...doesn't affect me at all. And most employers that object to use of forums at work have them blocked. It's very rare that something like a forum comment or noticeboard or twitter etc loses someone their job anyway.....and only if they post something so controversial or personal that it undermines their job or their relationship with their employer (so, true of politicians and public figures for example).

I would give myself a professional appraisal


Only I'm too busy ( fill in as appropriate ) & posting on here


See I run my own show


"Yes CJ"


"No CJ"


"Very well CJ"

    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.
