You certainly can, what stop you from it? You never had a disagreement at your work? You never tried to convince them that their decisions were bad? Then you were "subverting them"... The fact that you were disagreeing with their ethics or politics doesn't change a single thing. It's also completely useless and hurt the conversation to do personal attacks like saying it's "crazy" to not share your opinion.

HR stops you from doing that. Publicly bad mouthing the company you work for is definitely grounds for termination. If it was any other company in any other state it would have happened quickly and swiftly. It wouldn't be a news story.

  > Publicly bad mouthing the company you work for is definitely grounds for termination. We aren't talking about termination on that ground though. We wouldn't have this discussion here if it was, I would actually agree with it (though I would still find it sad that the company wouldn't try to improve what an employee see as an issue). > HR stops you from doing that. Here's the exact quote from the comment I was answering to: > You cannot accept a paycheck from a company, while also be trying to subvert it internally. We weren't talking about "Publicly bad mouthing" but about "subvert it internally", or in a less threatening way "changing how the company works internally". I believe you have all the rights to do this even on its paycheck, it's about improving what the company does, which is pretty much what employees are paid for.

However, according to https://www.hg.org/legal-articles/can-you-fire-someone-for-their-social-media-complaints-about-work-31743 https://www.hg.org/legal-articles/can-you-fire-someone-for-t..., speech about working conditions and union organising is protected. I suspect none of us armchair lawyers will come up with a simple way to analyse these tweets with a lot of context that isn't available.
