Oh, Yammer, that’s the one. I never really used it much either, I don’t think I can get behind sending memes on a company platform monitored by your manager, fully tied to your actual identity. I had to use it for store news and such. I did some deep digging, sure hope they couldn’t see that. I went back years out of boredom and curiosity and found some juicy arguments. Seriously, who’s arguing with people over inconsequential things on a work social media??
I know, right? That can only end one of two ways: HR gets pissed or nobody cares. There’s no positives here. Your manager won’t promote you because you posted something insightful or funny, they care about numbers and how much they like you in person.
So yeah, I really don’t understand who that’s for.
We have an internal company site for posting relevant info (e.g. HR docs, processes, etc), as well as email if there truly is something relevant to the entire company (that’s incredibly rare)
I honestly don’t care that Betsy in Missouri has a dog if I live in Arizona; if I want to discuss things about a topic, I’ll do it on real SM, not internal company SM
