> I value my right to speak freely and not in representation of my employer. You fail to understand two things. The first is that you have no such "right". You are speaking as a representative of your employer when others perceive you to be. What you or your employer think is irrelevant. The second is that this isn't about you. Whether you must take responsibility internally is up to your employer. But whether your employer must take responsibility in public is not. It has nothing to do with your "rights". You don't have a say in the matter.
