Your Clever Little Blog Could Get You Fired

WHATEVER

From today's USA Today:
Like a growing number of employees, Peter Whitney decided to launch a blog on the Internet to chronicle his life, his friends and his job at a division of Wells Fargo
Then he began taking jabs at a few people he worked with.

His blog, gravityspike.blogspot.com, did find an audience: his bosses. In August 2004, the 27-year-old was fired from his job handling mail and the front desk, he says, after managers learned of his Web log, or blog.

Luckily, no one at Daily411 complains about their co-workers on the blog so the threat of being fired is reduced. Of course if the higher-ups saw how much was posted during work hours, they might schedule a review.
