i have been informed that i may not post anything online regarding the company i work for without providing a disclaimer. i must inform you every time that i blog about my employer that my words do not reflect the opinions of said company and are simply my opinions. i think it's redundant to inform readers that what they read are opinions. i mean, it's not like i've been citing all my entries- so why assume they're scientific observations? and how do my employers really think that people that work at bookstores will abide by their ridiculous requests and stifle their opinions for not being so kosher or authorized? we not only sell books, we read them all the time. which means we think we're entitled to making judgments of this crooked corporation because we're a) literate, b) underpaid, and c) overworked.
i understand it is not wise to speak ill of your employer (especially if your manager is one of your friends on a social networking site), but i also understand that it's the nature of the beast to complain about your jay-oh-bee. also, i believe the first amendment says that i have freedom of speech. is it only vocal speech that's allowed? (didn't think so).
in conclusion: a big F-U to my employers for attempting to tame us. if we want to get fired for trash-talking or divulging company secrets, i think we should be given the opportunity (or at least not have it be taken away from us).
