Bank’s blogger booted

A banker by day and blogger by night claims she was fired by JPMorgan Chase for her online activities.

Business analyst Marilyn Tagocon, 50, of Piscataway, NJ, was canned after telling her bosses about her spare-time blogging and self-publishing of historical fiction, a lawsuit alleges.

When a coworker told her the company’s code of conduct restricted employees from posting personal political speech, Tagocon went to the Human Resources Department to make sure she wasn’t doing anything wrong.

The department gave her a choice: her job or her writing.

When Tagocon refused to take down her blog and stop marketing her novel, both of which she writes under a pen name, she was fired, she claims in a Manhattan Supreme Court suit.
