Below is an article about a guy at google getting fired because of his blog. At the end of the report, there are links about other bloggers who got fired. Just as a word of advise:

    BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY... NOT EVERYTHING IS SAFE. THEY COULD FIND OUT WHO YOU ARE & WHAT YOU SAY HERE COULD GET YOU FIRED.

Here is another article.

ONCE AGAIN, WATCH WHAT YOU SAY. I WOULDNT WANT TO LOSE MY JOB FOR BLOGGING!

My name is Ellen Simonetti, but I am better known to Web surfers as the Queen of Sky.

I had been a flight attendant for Delta Air Lines for almost eight years when I started my blog, or online diary, in January of this year. I entitled it "Diary of a Flight Attendant."



On Saturday, Sept. 25, I came home to flashing messages on my answering machine.

"Ellen, I need you to call me back. It's about your trip tomorrow," repeated the urgent-sounding voice on the tape.

The voice was that of a Del...

That is not true and you know it... You come on here and you know that you try to (for lack of a better phrase), light a fire under our butts. You come on here knowing fair and well that the comments that you make are going to get people "fired up". I come on here to help people where are from time to time you come on here with the want to get people angry by your demeanor. I agree with some if the things that you say, just some of them come across with so much hate and anger towards your job. And as much as you say that you love your job, I think if you did you would want to put things across with words like "We found another way to help our customers" not "We found another way to FORCE people to migrate." IMO, I think you know how to "...

thats ok, bottom line is they listen to me when they come accross my desk, and THEY DO what I tell them to do, thats all that matters!!!

Personally, you can listen to me or not, you can believe me or not here, this is FANTASY LAND for some, a playground still for others, quite frankly i don't care, but when i'm at work ITS ALL BUSINESS ,thats what matters, Jackie, you need to chill, here have a cookie!

All over the place enforcing the p&p, never ragging on the company, Ilove my job, i love my company, i just don't like some asshole reps, who find p&p is meant for eveybody but them, and the companies policies they don't like. But i enforce all aspects of it, try it.

"Blogging" isn't far removed from forum posting.
It's not Cingular related except to concern the posters in the room of something they should consider when posting.
It passes the "six degrees of kevin bacon" test.

Jen's departure comes less than a month after he joined Google as part of a wave of new hires and began recording his impressions of his new employer, including criticisms, in his blog.
One word: Nimrod.
