I love my job
Now it is the Boston Boston Globe telling us that employees and job-seekers can get in trouble for writing on their blogs, in MySpace, etc., etc., ad nauseum that they don't like working.

I don't get it.

If we all know that employers and recruiters will sniff out our postings for evidence of slacking, why don't people just lie?

I hope my boss isn't reading this, but I just wanted to say, for the record, that I love my job, love my boss and often go over and beyond when I am not on the clock, just hoping to bring some added value to my company.

See, that's not so hard, is it. And it sounds sincere.
