For what it's worth, I do not advocate a company using information harvested from a personal profile to be used as a tool to investigate an employee.
With that said however, I do not buy the whole mentality of "I can say what I want to in my blog and not have to face any consequences" either.
True the Constitution protects the rights of the individual with regards to freedom of speech. But if you say something slanderous or defamatory about the owner of or the company in general, the Constitution also gives your employer the right to say "you're fired."
With regards to things you post that are not related directly to your employer or the company, it's like my grandma always says: an ounce of prevention beats a pound of cure. Which means if you don't want your boss thinking your a drunken slut, don't post comments or pictures that lead to that conclusion.
And if you want to let the whole world know that you have extremely strong feelings about certain ethnic groups or religions - be my guest. But don't complain if someone gets offended.
When you were born no one guaranteed that you would get your way. No one guaranteed that nothing bad would ever happen to you. No one guaranteed that you would agree with my opinion. And no one guaranteed that you would have to like it.
But the fact remains this is my opinion. And I'm okay with it.
