 <title>To Blog or not to Blog:  when your employer decides</title>
 <link>http://www.blogher.com/node/1263</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Anina whose star has been rising on the mobile technology conference circuit through 2005 receives an ultimatum from her modeling agency.  &quot;Choose modeling or technology, because you can&#039;t do both.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anina&#039;s story isn&#039;t unique.  Many employers are concerned about their employees blogging, and as a result, some people blog anonymously.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The concerns of the modeling agency aren&#039;t clear, but it does raise what is likely to continue to be a tough choice for employees.  When an employer dictates your activities outside of work, what recourse do you have?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Read the comments on &lt;a href=&quot;http://anina.typepad.com/anina/2006/01/slides_gave_me_.html&quot;&gt;Anina&#039;s post&lt;/a&gt;.  Also, she has included a short audio recording of a discussion with 2 friends on handling the situation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do employers have the right to insist that employees don&#039;t blog?  Can your employer dictate which passions you may or may not persue?&lt;/p&gt;
