WTF???

One can, it now seems, be sacked for blogging. Waterstones have sacked one of their senior boosellers from his job in their Edinburgh store, after he made a few (not very many) references to his job, and referred to "Evil Boss" (presumably a reference to Dilbert's Pointy-Haired Boss). This is disturbing in so many ways. Can one be sacked for moaning down the pub, as well? Who doesn't have gripes at work?
What can we do? Well, I'd certainly recommend boycotting Waterstones until he's re-instated, and emailing them explaining your actions. After all, if they sack someone for expressing opinions online, it doesn't bode well for what books they will and won't stock, does it? Who knows what they'd refuse to sell...
Anyway, the blog in question can be seen at http://www.woolamaloo.org.uk/- go check him out yourself.
