Blogger Fired from Microsoft for Security Violation

Michael, a contract worker for Microsoft, found it humorous that Microsoft
had a whole palette of Apple Macintosh computers delivered to his building (presumably
for software testing) and took
a picture of it and posted it to his blog.
His supervisor told him

"[I]t’s your site on your own server, you have the right to say anything
you want. Unfortunately, Microsoft has the right to decide that because of what
you said, you’re no longer welcome on the Microsoft campus.”

And
he was immediately escorted out of the building.

This is just another reminder of the delicate balance you strike blending your
personal thoughts and feelings with your weblog – and another reason to periodicaly
reread your archives to search for unsavory comments about former employers
and such.
