Maintain a Blog, Get Fired?
Just came across this article at Wired.com about how many bloggers are getting into hot water with their employers over material that they put on their blogs. As the article notes:
What do a flight attendant in Texas, a FedEx Kinko’s employee in Washington and a web designer in Utah have in common? They were all fired for posting content on their blogs that their companies disapproved of.
The rise of blogging over the past few years has, inevitably, given way to another phenomenon, as companies are forced to confront employees’ easy access to ranting and raving about work in public online forums like Blogger and LiveJournal.
All I can say is, if you’re reading this, Chancellor Lombardi . . . how’s it going?
