Spotted in PR. Differently

Scary story out of SMU.

A professor who kept an annonymous blog about her experiences on campus was let go - the school says it wasn't about the blog, she says it was.

Either way, she's been canned.

Makes for some scary thoughts - what if an employer finds out you've said something about them, and fires you for... "not fitting the corporate culture?"

Well, if you say something in public which reflects badly on your employer, what do you expect? This is nothing new, really - the same thing can happen (and I'm sure has happened) over published articles and speeches. The only difference is the medium (blogs), and the apparent thought on the part of this person that posting anonymously was a shield.
