Blogs can get you hired or fired - By Stacy Burling, PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER
Some companies have begun monitoring what is said about them in blogs or other Internet sites. But employment lawyers said big companies are unlikely to have the time or desire to regularly read every employee's blog. People are more likely to get in trouble when a meddlesome co-worker or offended customer tells higher-ups.
Still, employment lawyers caution that the First Amendment was designed to protect people from the government, not private employers. In most states, unless you're blogging about a handful of protected topics or have a union that protects you, you can be fired for anything - or nothing.
All bloggers, they said, would be wise to write as if their bosses, future bosses or grandmothers were reading over their shoulders.------------------------------------------- posted 5:03 AM :: reference link ::
