Don't bad mouth your company on your blog

This is pretty much common sense I should think. I mean this information goes out to everyone in cyberspace including your employer if they bother to check. You wouldn't take down you company in front of your boss and you shouldn't do it out here. These people were pretty dumb:

Last month, the Automobile Club of Southern California, an affiliate of the AAA, fired 27 employees after a co-worker complained about “harassing” and insulting comments the employees made in postings on the social- networking Web site MySpace.com.

During the automobile club’s investigation into the matter, the company also discovered that some of the employees, including administrative and roadside assistance workers, had discussed on the site plans to disrupt emergency road service to club members.

Um couldn't these people just stuck with Yahoo Chat, the telephone, or simply went to their local Olive Garden and discussed this sort of thing. They were just too lazy to do that and posted it on a public forum which left a paper trail to their behavior. I guess they never watched a gangster movie where they talk business on the golf course or at the local pub.
