You can "protect" all you like, but speaking publicly about your employer has repercussions and you can't wish that away. Let's say I'm an employer filling a position. I narrow found the candidates to a handful, any one would be fine. So I start contacting ex-bosses, references, doing Google searches etc. Hmm, one of them has disparaged their employer online. I don't know who was right, and frankly I don't care. I'm never going to think "ah, there's someone we really want - someone who goes online when they don't get what they want." You can't "protect speech" this away.
