A world in which one can't even expose the fact that your boring job is boring without fear of losing your livelihood is a world not worth building and the right of management to run their company like their own tiny kingdom is not worth protecting especially if 99% of the people voting on the ground rules are the peons.

I think there is a difference complaining to friends and family VS having a blog on the internet for the whole world to see. Would you want to work with someone who will broadcast mistakes you make to the world, or using their following to leverage things to their advantage?

Somehow I suspect that she wrote things a good bit spicier than that her job was boring. And I suspect that her firing wasn't just a result of her boss being so offended that she called the job boring. She probably wrote a bunch of things that were less than kind about the personal habits and personalities of her co-workers. Would you want to work with somebody like that, always wondering if you might be the next person targeted?

Oh yeah how the world has changed. When before your grandad, between two wars, worked to feed himself and his kid and could not even fathom complaining about what was paying the rent, now, we cant even whine to millions of people on the internet that the job that costs us nothing to leave is terribly boringg.

  They are owed 40 hours of good proficient labor, decency, and respect but we are employees not serfs. They aren't owed silence in the rest of our life or fear.

I, for one, love living in a world where this is a pressing concern. And may it become more so!
