Blogging

You’re thinking, but what about the First Amendment right to fee speech? Well, when it comes to blogging about your company, you just can’t do it without risking being fired.

This happened to one Delta Airlines flight attendant–and she wasn’t even blogging anything bad about the company. Her blogs merely gave some insight into what it was like to be a flight attendant. The problem is she often mentioned Delta and posted photos of herself in her Delta uniform.

The flight attendant, Ellen Simonetti, was “fired in 2004 after her employers discovered her blog, entitled ‘Diary of a Flight Attendant’ and decided they’d rather not have the world see her as a representative of Delta Airlines,” reported List Verse.

Firing because of blogging is not unseal. “Employees have been fired for blogging about their employers’ people, products, and services. Employees have been fired for posting photos of themselves dressed in their company uniforms while off duty. Employees have been fired for posting embarrassing photos about the goings-on inside companies. Employees have been fired for alerting the blogosphere to what a jerk a particular manager is or what a joke a company’s policies and procedures are,” reported the American Management Association.
