&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The internet is not Private, it is the antithesis of private; it is public and for everyone to read.  Sure, her employer could not read the blog but if you don't want to be fired for something you write in your blog, make sure you are anonymous and make sure you don't say something that can get you fired.  You will notice I stay pretty close to that on my blog.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9493866/112244413737470674/comments/default/112291402297242807'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9493866/112244413737470674/comments/default/112291402297242807'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://faute-de-mieux.blogspot.com/2005/07/why-blogs-jobs-and-new-york-times-dont.html?showComment=1122913980000#c112291402297242807' title=''/><author><name>T</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05968106816295892826</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://faute-de-mieux.blogspot.com/2005/07/why-blogs-jobs-and-new-york-times-dont.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9493866.post-112244413737470674' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9493866/posts/default/112244413737470674' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9493866.post-112247823787982120</id><published>2005-07-27T08:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-07-27T08:30:00.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Just to clarify one detail...when I say on a cell ...</title><content type='html'>Just to clarify one detail...&lt;BR/&gt;when I say on a cell phone call, I mean like in the house where the lady can hear it, not like tapping her phone or anything.  &lt;BR/&gt;My point is, she said it in a place/forum she knew her boss would "overhear."  That's just stupid.  And irresponsible.  And an offense I consider fire-worthy. &lt;BR/&gt;By writing her dumb-ass article the lady has lost all sympathy she may have gotten.  My point is, blogger chick deserved to be canned. Writer lady deserves to be slammed for writing such a whiny article.  They are both unsympathetic.  And, despite what everyone is saying, this is not an assault on blogging.  It's an assault on people with really freaking big mouths. :)</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9493866/112244413737470674/comments/default/112247823787982120'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9493866/112244413737470674/comments/default/112247823787982120'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://faute-de-mieux.blogspot.com/2005/07/why-blogs-jobs-and-new-york-times-dont.html?showComment=1122478200000#c112247823787982120' title=''/><author><name>Tiffy</name><uri>http://www.adamandtiffy.com</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://faute-de-mieux.blogspot.com/2005/07/why-blogs-jobs-and-new-york-times-dont.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9493866.post-112244413737470674' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9493866/posts/default/112244413737470674' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9493866.post-112246928691421756</id><published>2005-07-27T06:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-07-27T06:01:00.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Okay, this is a rare occurence and I am so clearly...</title><content type='html'>Okay, this is a rare occurence and I am so clearly in the minority on this, but I disagree with you on this.&lt;BR/&gt;I read back every post of the "innocent" blogger's blog.  I am predisposed to dislike her which I will admit up front.  She makes multiple disparaging comments about her Mawrtyr roommate's "girl school bullshit."  She also is ridiculously immature for a 26 year old woman.  When I first started reading I thought she was 22 or so and just out of college and had more sympathy.  I was floored when I saw how old she was.  She really should know better.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Yes, the article was stupid.  Absolutely.  It was whiny and irritating.  But... if I had kids (which I do not) and I heard the person I paid and trusted to care for them say that work sucked more than anything she could imagine and was considering voluntary sterilization, I would fire her too.  And I wouldn't hesitate for even one second.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Do nanny's always adore the kids they work for?  Probably not.  But women who work are in a bind.  They need to trust someone to care for the most important people in their life and they let themselves believe this woman they hire will love the kids as much as she can.  When you then hear Nanny contemplating tying her tubes because of your bratty kids, it breaks that illusion and the relationship is no longer workable. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Do I care about the rest of the article?  Not so much.  Let the two of them analyze each other and themselves and write in circles.  I am just saying that if I was privy to information that was literally GIVEN to me that made me think the caretaker I trusted with the  most important people in my life was resenting them and bitching about it, I'd fire her too.  Simple as that. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The blog part of it is so overblown.  It's an irrelevant detail.  She could have overheard it in a coffee shop or on a cell phone call or any other of a thousand ways.  The girl handed over her blog address, invited her employer to read it on multiple occassions and then bitched about the ladies kids in a particularly hateful way.  She's fired.  Period.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9493866/112244413737470674/comments/default/112246928691421756'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9493866/112244413737470674/comments/default/112246928691421756'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://faute-de-mieux.blogspot.com/2005/07/why-blogs-jobs-and-new-york-times-dont.html?showComment=1122469260000#c112246928691421756' title=''/><author><name>Tiffy</name><uri>http://www.adamandtiffy.com</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://faute-de-mieux.blogspot.com/2005/07/why-blogs-jobs-and-new-york-times-dont.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9493866.post-112244413737470674' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9493866/posts/default/112244413737470674' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
