work + blogging = never a good combination

Has no one learned from the tale of Heather B. and how she got 'dooced?'

A NYC nanny was fired over her blog. The twist? She was employed by Helaine Olen, an NY Times style-section writer, who then turned around to write an inflammatory article called The New Nanny Diaries Are Online [mefi1/mefi1] which started out with:

"OUR former nanny, a 26-year-old former teacher with excellent references, liked to touch her breasts while reading The New Yorker and often woke her lovers in the night by biting them. She took sleeping pills, joked about offbeat erotic fantasies involving Tucker Carlson and determined she'd had more female sexual partners than her boyfriend.

How do I know these things? I read her blog."

Of course, the nanny then fires back, where else? Her blog.

Wtf moment? The nanny not only told her employer she was keeping a blog, she gave the woman the url to go visit it.
