At Microsoft anyway.
According to this article from the PI, Microsoft fired Michael Hanscom after he posted a picture of three pallets of new Mac G5s being delivered to the Redmond campus.
The article says "the post was considered a security risk because a careful reader could decipher from his description the location of the shipping-and-receiving department."
Boggle. Wouldn't having people know the location of your shipping-and-receiving department be sort of required in order for said department to actually do its job?
Sounds like they were looking for an excuse to fire poor Hanscom and came up with a really stupid one.
