Fired Due To Blogging
Seems that what you do on your own time is still something that some bosses seem to feel they should not only have control over, but can fire you for. Now, if this person was actually blogging from the office when she was supposed to be working, a time stamp proving that is certainly a reason to be rather upset with an employee. It can also be rather dodgy if one had mentioned the company in question, although this person didn't. Seems her "very old school" boss with the "plummy Oxbridge accent" was not amused.

Sacked UK blogger sues Paris firm
A British secretary in Paris is suing her French firm because she says she was unfairly sacked for writing a weblog about her home and office life.
The woman, who refuses to give her last name but has been widely named as Catherine Sanderson, says she was fired by Dixon Wilson for "gross misconduct".
The blogger, who uses the pseudonym La Petite Anglaise, says she was accused of bringing her company into disrepute.
Dixon Wilson, an accountancy firm, has not commented on the case.
On Wednesday, more than 200 followers of Ms Sanderson's blog urged her to keep fighting against the decision.
