Don't Blog About the Office

If you're thinking about blogging about what's going on in the office, post this Dilbert cartoon on the edge of your screen. Unless the firm has a blogging policy and you're complying with it, you are risking your livelihood.

I'm reminded of the term DOOCED, which means to lose one’s job because of one’s blog. The term was coined when Heather Armstrong, a Web designer in L.A. (www.Dooce.com) blogged about the firm's holiday party. She recounted what intoxicated people said, called one co-worker "Supher Human Puker," and made a comment about the Asian database administrator who had passed out."

She got Dooced.
