How not to get fired for blogging: don’t blog, twitter, do your social networking while at work, when you are getting paid to do something else. Why is that such a hard concept? If you were an employer, would you want your employees to be frittering away their time on nonsense when you are paying them to do a job? There are a lot of people who need work right now…if you don’t want your job, I do, and I won’t spend my time playing games or gossiping online when I should be doing something productive (unless wasting time is your job, then go for it).

Bloggers should remember that their workplaces own the hardware and the software, that they have the right to monitor your internet usage, and that you have no expectation of privacy in the workplace. And if you work in an “employee at will” state, you can be fired at any time for almost any reason My “rule of thumb” at work regarding e-mails is this: if I would be comfortable seeing it as part of a court case I will send it. Of course, those who know how to make themselves anonymous may have ways to get around these strictures.

11. When caught, emphasize that blog in question is actually used as a recruiting tool. Remind HR to add finder's fees to your next check.
