		<description>Interesting strategy.

Gallup conducts annual surveys to assess employee engagement, and distinguishes three categories of engagement. In &lt;a href=&quot;http://gmj.gallup.com/content/125036/Despite-Downturn-Employees-Remain-Engaged.aspx&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the most recent Gallup survey&lt;/a&gt; (also available &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rapportconnection.com/forum/topics/despite-the-downturn-employees&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;), they report that &quot;28% of 
American workers are engaged, 54% are not engaged, and 18% are actively disengaged&quot;.

The tweet above - &quot;i hate my job i need to get a better one soon !!!!!!!!!&quot; - reflects what I would categorize as active disengagement. As you note in your commentary, this sort of expression of disdain may be temporary, but I, for one, would be disinclined to hire such a candidate, as in my experience, anyone who has badmouthed one employer (or position) is likely to badmouth future employers (or positions). And while active disengagement can be situational, it can also be serial. I had a peak at the tweetstream for the person whose tweet you quoted above; she has also recently expressed boredom with lunch in exclamatory fashion and a state of inebriation in a NSFW fashion.</description>
