Today, Panzer was tootling around in the Panzermobile in the Catosphere when he heard sighing and crying coming from outside. Following the noise, took our sympathetic kitty boy to the
Publishers Weekly site. There he found a post about Barnes and Noble's change to the company's freelance writing team.

| Your job is never safe. |
According to the post by Judith Rosen, Barnes and Noble has made major changes to the company's freelance bloggers. These freelancers are the ones who wrote the Teen and Science Fiction and Fantasy (SFF) blogs. The post includes quotes from freelancer teams that were let go and one of these is quoted as saying all freelancers were let go. As freelancers they weren't considered employees and so could be let go at any time. According to at least one of the quotes, some of them had worked for Barnes and Noble for years.
Panzer says, "Whenever a company is taken over by new owners, people will be let go no matter how long you've worked there."
Note: This is a medium length post. Bring a cup of tea and a muffin for today's reading selection.
