keri,
that is true, but I don't think they should be fired if they never mention the company name, their name or anyone else's names.

chris,
I've heard of that, and it would work, but only if the blogger actually has to deal with excel charts in their job of course (which I don't and never have--am I the only one??)

A lot of people have gotten fired for blogging. I personally think that if you're going to blog about your workplace, assume that you will be found out eventually, especially if you blog negative things.

Quirky
If you go to a website called lastminute.com, they have a facility called 'the boss is watching'. When you click on this link it shows an excel chart with a graph on it, which gives the impression the naughty blogger is actually working on some tedious data...

Taps,
One of the problems is that unless you delete the blog, it can stick around for a long, long time and come back to bite ya later!

Jems,
It doesn't surprise me that there are a lot of books out there on the subject. But it does surprise me that you actually bought not one but two!!

Quirky - I've always wondered about that and am even careful now that I am retired. I know too much bad stuff about them.

I can understand the flight attendant gettin' dooced,
I mean, come on! That was stupid of her. But the first one is an outrage. I don't think that's fair at all. What she does on her own time is her business; especially since she never named names. Geesh.

Search Book websites
and you'll find tons of books about blogging! Yipes!
Actually, I own two blogging books! (Double Yipes!!!) Haven't read either one yet, though--which may explain why my blogs' ratings suck!
