You did the right thing.  The other folks are idiots.

Subject: To notify, or not notify (LinkedIn)

 

We fired off an advisory e-mail to our staff about LinkedIn and recommending
they change their password, and included links to both the LinkedIn Tweet
and the CNet article. After the e-mail went out I got bombed by our Service
Desk guys (it was my recommendation to send it) asking why we would want to
do such a thing since "it's not our website".

 

I felt the scope was sufficient and the business use adequate enough to
warrant notifying our employees. I had folks above me agree with me (else it
wouldn't have been sent), and the front line guys disagree. This is one of
those judgment calls where everyone is going to handle it differently.

 

Did any of you guys send a note out to your staff?
