heptapod's Journal: Blogging Can Get You Fired (common sense)

CNN/Money has a piece on web logs paving the way towards getting fired. This isn't just a trend in the IT industry but other fields. Common sense in a world with sensitive corporate secrets. But where is the line drawn between telling stories out of school after work at the local bar and publishing your employer's dirty laundry on the net on a site most people wouldn't know about in the first place?

It appears Mark Jen was hired back but not before heavily editing his web log.

I'm sure most Slashbots and trolls want to see the shrill, anti-American blog of the recently-fired Michael Sims.

Yeah, I'd love to see Michael Simms blog

Wanna bet that he'll have comments disabled when he goes on to explain that it was the corporate fascists that were the reason for his firing? I just found out about Michael getting canned today and it made my day. I knew bad things were in store for him when he got his own section (Politics). Now maybe Slashdot can get back to geek news and not Michael Simms personal leftist, Bush-bashing forum

Actually I'd just like to see the infighting and how he's claiming that Taco is Hitler, quashing free speech and the rest.

I concur, good riddance to Michael Sims. From Slashdot and the United States of America.
