Social Axioms
14
It’s a human nature to communicate
Companies can ignore social business but their employees will not
The only result you might achieve is that your employees will discuss
work-related issues over public social networks
„You can disagree, you can discuss it, but that‘s all you can
actually do about it.“
(Jara da Cimrman)
