You Blog = Fun, Relaxing - Blogging about your job = Workless (Remove “Priceless”)

A Nintendo contract employee found herself on the unemployment line recently over blog postings. The news of this was reported on Seattle alternative paper The Stranger, Jessica Zenner was let go by Mario & Co. on August 31st. Just when you thought it was safe to blog.
Zenner… can now be added to the ever-growing list of casualties in the workplace war on blogs… All they did was participate in the great American pastime: bitching about work
Zenner says she was never informed of any blog policy at Nintendo, but even so, she wrote under the pen name “Jessica Carrâ€â€”although she posted pictures of herself on her site—and never mentioned her employer by name. Somehow, Zenner’s bosses at Nintendo still found her site.
