Acceptable use policy? Does CareerBuilder find it acceptable for someone to be a) "twittering" at work, b) discussing customers using a 3rd-party facility and company-owned equipment (If so, is MY DATA SAFE??) and c) potentially breaching non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements? 2. A repeat discussion of "the entitlement generation", and the self-centered viewpoint that assumes the rest of us care that your job and/or life sucks. We don't. 3. Micro-blogging and instant messaging can be productivity killers. How connected is too connected? At some point, you are so connected that you can't get any work done. Three thoughts come to mind:

I agree with Jeanette -- when I say no, that doesn't mean I want to be called over and over and over. Yeah, he could have been my rep also.

That sounds exactly like something he would say and do! I would say that out of all of the job boards that I deal with Career Builder is the most pushy and annoying (at least my rep).

What makes these telemarketers think I have the time and interest in their calls...especially after the 3rd or 4th time?!
