Blogging can get you fired
Michael Hanscom was fired for posting about G5 Macs arriving at Microsoft. It should be pointed out that he is temping through an agency who had placed him at MSCopy, a print shop. Short term temporary employees are liable to dismissal for minor offenses, but showing the arrival of Macs on the MS campus seems extreme, especially labeling it as a security issue.
By firing him, MS has generaged a lot more ill will.
I decided not to blog about anything from work. Any opinions I have about my work environment are either expressed at work or at home. My attitude is that it is not suitable for me to publish issues about current or former employers. Any future employer can see that they will get the same treatment.
Some people at work know about this blog. (Hi!) They don't comment on it, which I appreciate ;-)
