I wouldn't be surprised if employers had found a way to check people's message board posts, as well as stuff on FB and Twitter, despite it generally being anonymous. No wonder people are afraid to post.

But yeah, standing up to bad employers is important. I'm sure society thinks this position is evil or something. Pretty sad.

Well, that's good. You're fighting the power, such as the power is.

Depending on the job, my approach to "unreasonable/stupid" demands is different than my approach to "illegal" demands.

This. Fortunately, my boss knows what my job entails and he's done the job for years. He doesn't make irrational/unattainable requests or demands.

My supervisor never makes unreasonable, stupid or illegal demands. If it happened I would address it with him first and use our open door policy second. If neither worked I would quit working for the company as I can subsist comfortably on my own income. If it was illegal in nature I would probably try to document it and report them.

Open door police? What? I don't understand, is that just where people quit a lot?

Most of the people I've worked for would shudder at the thought. They're too good for employees. Even the junior managers.

You most work for a good company. What kind is it, and what's it called?

Illegal demands? I either go to the state job board or HR depending.

Unreasonable or stupid demands? I work public sector so tell them I don't have time, or just say sure and never do it or do it piss poor.

Sorry to hear that, keep looking there are better places out there. I don't want to disclose my place of work here.
