Interesting, given that I mention below that Dooce is back, word now comes (via this MeFi post) that a journalist has been fired after his employer found the blog he'd been writing under a pseudonym (nb. NYT article, registration required, blah blah).
Should also mention a blog I found yesterday, written by a former employee of a large software company based in Washington state. I, fortunately, never found myself targetted to the same degree as she describes, being tormented by her boss-from-hell, but I certainly saw myself, and the sort of frustration I was feeling, back when I was working at my soul-crushingly evil corporate job, pre-tech days. I think I was a lot more angry (at least towards the end) than she seems to be, but the hurt and sense of helplessness were there too.
Sometimes you've just got to bail when a job starts eating you alive. No paycheque is worth that kind of torment.
