#2 In a normal world if 'staff confronted management' over a routine business decision, they would all be 'former staff' within an hour. It's not like you can't find people to replace them, especially in light of all the government-forced unemployment going on now.

#6 They’ve been apparently getting wokeness training for months, so this kind of thing was inevitable. But there are plenty of established publishing houses hardnosed enough to be happy to take on the good professor’s little project — and if not, I have no doubt the independents will be lining up to do it for a considerably smaller take of the profits.

So let us cheer the crybullies of PenguinRandomHouse Canada, as they ride their SJW-signalling employer into the ground.

#8 Just let the fact out that *their* salaries are being paid by that [in their word despicable] little book.
IF you lucky you won't even have to fire them.
