Criticizing your employer is considered protected speech in the US.
Edit: I stand corrected. "Some" forums of criticizing your employer may be considered protected. You may need a lawsuit to enforce that protection....
- pwthornton 9y agoIt's not. You can't just criticize your employer with impunity. Only a very narrowly tailored set of criticisms related to whistleblowing, labor practices and a few other areas are protected.
- spacemanmatt 9y agoFor the purpose of 1st amendment protection, you can criticize your employer with impunity. You can criticize the government with impunity, too. What most people mean when they talk about their freedom of speech is the privilege of speaking without losing their job. I find it to be a tragic if not fatal misunderstanding pervasive to discussions about speech.
- tj-teej 9y ago? What makes you say that. The 1st Amendment only states that the Govt cannot do anything to hinder free speech.
- sageikosa 9y agoProtected in that you cannot be prosecuted for it perhaps.
