We signed a piece of paper promising that we would not write about your company in an unfavorable light. Companies make their employees sign such statements when they’re engaged in embarrassing behavior, or it’s the US Army. But isn’t that something? A bookstore actively trying to stifle free expression. We know what you’ll say—that companies have the right to control their image, to control their employees. But that control doesn’t extend beyond their front door. Some of us have done unimaginable things to make sure it stays that way.

You take away our free coffee, our holiday pay, our raises.
“We all must pull together,” you say. “We must do what’s best for the company.”
Fuck your fucking company, we say.
Smoking your cigar, drinking your cognac, you send 400 copies of Laura Bush and 300 copies of Newt Gingrich to San Francisco.
To San Fran-fucking-cisco!
And you expect us to work hard for you?
Fuck you, Borders. Fuck you.
