I see. However, I am a man, and as a man, I never cry. Would other people's tears work? Is this one of those things where the tears of children work best?
In most states, if she wrote that in her free time, off company property and not using company equipment, she could sue for wrongful termination. The first amendment protects everyone, even stupid bitches.
Even if she did try to sue, she wouldn't win. The company could just say they fired her for having a bad attitude or for making the company look bad by posting the tweet online. Companies fire employees all the time for things they post online...just like colleges/universities expel kids for things the post online. It's perfectly legal if there's proof that it's in the best interest if the company/college.
Not in California and states with similar laws. A school can't suspend a student for saying all the teachers need to eat shit and a job can't fire you for badmouthing them as well, UNLESS your specific job was to be the face or voice of the company, which is why sponsors can drop celebrities if they do something stupid. Since I doubt she was the new pr rep, she would win. As for jobs and schools letting people go all the time, it still don't make it legal.
Original guest commenter- the first amendment guarantees you free speech without government interference. You are still responsible for the consequences of your words.
That's a myth.
