Blogging her way out of a job…in France

The Seattle Times: Nation & World: “La Petite Anglaise” blogs way out of job and into limelight

She kept her popular blog anonymous, never revealing her full name or workplace. But despite her attempts at secrecy, her employer found out and fired her, unusual in France, where workers have strong legal protections.

Now we will see how a country with very strong laws that protect employment handles a blog firing. Of course one has to wonder if the facts presented are truthful. It certainly does not seem like she has done anything to warrant unemployment, but do we know all the facts. If empoyers start firing people for sending personal e-mails, we might soon find office buildings in the USA empty. Keep an eye on this one.
