Jeremy's post Fired for Blogging really shocked me a bit... bloggers are somewhat more creative and self-empowered than the ususal 9to5 workers you find so oftern... Why would someone get fired for a fantastic hobby - the content? the time he devotes to his personal enrichment versus those of the company's ?

Who knows? I guess this could be just "a reason" for any personal problem between the manager and the fired Joyce ... not sure about it, as I have not read all the posts...

For me it looks like the dude Jeff Winner that's called VP of engineering at friendster got setup because Joyce pointed out that friendster sucked because of a bad designed Java/JSP implementation - welll like most bad designed applications suck... I guess that was his baby --- what do you think?

This is the best sample for bad people management... even bad personal attitude of that guy... firing people that understand the problems ... paah.

Joyce - congratulations for leaving those suckers..
Friendster's management earned my today's rotten folks award....
