Corporate Blogs, From Bellyache To Headache

An anonymous reader writes "The Washington Post is running an article about corporate blogging and the headaches that come with it. From the article: 'Like anonymous blogs supposedly written by employees of Microsoft Corp. and Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the BearingPoint blog is, in many ways, just like happy-hour conversations that employees are apt to hold after work. They gripe about inane training programs, grouse about absurd corporate policies and ruminate about management incompetence. But transferred to cyberspace, where the audience is global, the management headaches associated with such grumblings become instantly more severe.'"

    Are there any good blogs that Slashdotters read about corporate life, or directories that break down blogs by company? I don't have any businesses specifically in mind, I'm just looking for funny and juicy stories about how companies fare.
