Be Careful What You Blog

Blogs are wonderful things (you'd expect me to say that, wouldn't you?), but they do not exist outside the laws and mores of traditional society. Which is why I'm constantly amazed that people are shocked when they are fired after badmouthing their job/boss/company on their blog. What is it about a blog that makes people think they're immune from retaliation? It may be no different in content than the steam you blow off with your buddies over a few beers, except that you're blowing off to the entire fucking planet! The chances that someone from your company will see what you write are higher than most people think. Just use common sense, people.
