My work has clear policies on your conduct even in your own time that would look bad on them by association. In other words, you are a representative of your employer even in your own time.
It's not a crime to express yourself. The protection I refer to is from Govt intervention and criminality.
The content may or may not have consequences.
We are saying the same thing.
That is the problem with limiting free speech is there is always a judgement somewhere. What happens when one does not agree with the judge?
Highly improbable seeing how no jihadist responded to her signal. The picture does show a curvature in the road heading right though.
Apparently the boneheaded woman gave her company the 'heads up' that they might get some media attention from her action. If she hadda just shut her yapper, and not identified herself...this story would've drifted into the ether. But she wanted/ craved her 15 minutes and it cost her , I suppose.
I suppose that's true, if you have no clue what "employment at will" means.
In the U.S., the concept of "for cause" only applies if you have a contract so specifying. The default value is employment at will.
Maybe she was just showing off her manicure and thought giving POTUS a look at it would make him happy.
In Canada you need a reason or you need to pay...or neither and fight it out in court. I had a buddy a few years ago got 1 month pay for each year worked. He made a complaint to the safety supervisor and was let go a month later after 16 years of service. With no historical records of employment problems, his lawyer told him you pretty much had to commit a crime for them to have cause.
This isn't new.
We've just voted in a party who's platform was to protect minorities.
Where was the uproar before we went to the polls?
“Covered Social Media Activity that contains discriminatory, obscene malicious or threatening content, is knowingly false, create (sic) a hostile work environment, or similar inappropriate or unlawful conduct will not be tolerated and will be subject to discipline up to an (sic) including termination of employment.”
Stoopid broad.

My employer probably wouldn't agree with a lot of the stuff I post on this forum.
I'm a Shipper/ Receiver. That's the title you're given when you're not very good at anything, but they have to call your position something.
But I've never written disparaging remarks about my company on social media. My superiors however know that I have a great sense of humour, and quite often my tongue-in-cheek comments get taken the wrong way.

What kind of assholes respect a presidential motorcade or a prime ministerial motercade for that matter, the high and mighty should soon get some real.
