Of course, employees should know better. And besides, it seems horribly stupid to even blog while at work because the IT people can see absolutely *everything* you look at and do online. And yes, if you screw around too much on the job they can fire you, and should.

Over a period of about 6 months, I probably had 10 people comment stating that they were either current employees of Sprint/Nextel or previous employees. All complained and nobody had anything good to say. From what I read, it seemes like nobody is happy there and it's just their way of venting frustration. Unfortunately, if you're doing it on company time, I'm sure they can legally let you go. I'm not sure what the legal basis would be if you did it from your own personal computer on your own time. Maybe it would be in their best interest to find other jobs anyway. I used to have Nextel and had a post on my old blog about their horrible customer service.

Unfortunately, that is the way it is. Corporations have more and more rights while employees have less and less. Unfortunately, that is the way it is.
