Proper CM Conduct Off Stage

[Mukta]

The idea of privacy in our world is hardly thought of anymore. Being discreet in my mind is a sign of dignity. How many times have you had a Facebook "friend" that you may not know very well and you constantly see them post depressing things online and the first thing you think is "woah, they have issues".

I know I think that. Call me old fashioned, but I prefer to vent out my feelings behind closed doors, to my wife, or on the phone to a family member, or even online as long as it's a private message. The world doesn't need to hear your drama 24/7

I agree with this

A wise old man once gave me a very good piece of advice. Never write down anything you wouldn't want used against you one day.

and this. The internet is not a place to share a private thought.

This is one I HAVE to comment on -

First, I don't believe this has anything to do with Disney, or being a CM. Rather, it has to do with the fact that one has a JOB.

Just my opinion - slavery in the US ended in the mid 19th century. When one is given a JOB, a company RENTS you - they do not OWN you. However, just about every US Company I know of seems to have conveniently forgotten all this... they appear to be deadset on regulating the behavior of their employees 24x7.

Knock it off. If you want to regulate behavior 24x7, then PAY for it. Here's the deal: I work for you eight hours a day, then you leave me alone. If you want me to work for you 24 hours a day? PAY ME.

Now - I understand how Disney, and OTHER Companies feel. It's not nice to bite the hand that feeds you. But I also understand that these are PEOPLE (not "Human Assets"). I've done everything from picking fruit in a field to working in a restaurant to getting a Doctorate and performing Research at a fortune 500 for 27 years. EVERY job es people off. I don't think a WDW CM is any different. God knows that I would just HAVE to say something if I had eight year olds throwing up on me on a regular basis....

spoken like a true American.......... Companies do not own employees, and at a cast member level of min. wage, I don't think that's enough to make someone think twice before they vent out. pay me 100,000 yr. for a peticular job ,and I will put up with the bull and keep my mouth shut. "If you pay in peanuts, you get monkey's".......(not ment to slur any CM's, it's just an expression)
