There’s a lot of gray area around what you can say about your employer in a public forum. Personally, I tend to err on the side of caution. Talking about cubicle layouts and maybe the occasional Dilbert-esque moments are about all I’m going to get into about Kraft. Certainly nothing technical, because that would a) be highly inappropriate, and b) bore the pants off anyone who doesn’t have a background in food science/engineering. Anything I do say about the work I do is basically public information. For instance, I can say that we add Vitamin A to some varieties of cream cheese - but that’s nothing proprietary - it’s on the ingredient line if it’s in there.

That’s my take on it - if you think that what you’re blogging might be inappropriate, it probably is.
