Question of the Week: Why anonymous?

Why anonymous?  In a word - vindictiveness.  My employer, like a good many employers, are predictable when it comes to things that aren't their idea.  Like an employee who wants to use write books and use social media to talk about the job.  I'm not willing to kiss the ring for permission and then have to clear everything I write for approval before I publish it.  As I have recently talked about in my getting an involuntary transfer, the boss has shown that payback is alive and well. 

Plus there are concerns that someone in that chain will try and twist what I say.  Or even more damaging, try to say that I have violated some sort of confidentiality.  This even though all my stories and information has been heavily sanitized, redacted or modified. 

And I need this job.  For both the pay and the benefits.  Damn medical insurance is expensive.  I need to support my rather large family and make sure that they are kept healthy.  One medication alone that my spouse uses is $400 per month and wouldn't be doable if I didn't have insurance and a lower copay!

Yes, there is free speech.  Yes, there are consequences for what you say when you use your right to free speech.  Yes, I need to keep anonymous...
