Fired for Freedom of Speech?

The story says the sign "implied Native Americans are bad tippers." You have to be an overly sensitive Native American on a self-hate jag to leap to that conclusion. The sign would say to me, "We're busier than heck. Help!"

The restaurant manage where the young lady worked posted this on Facebook:

When an employee decides to make an a** of him or herself they can now do it for all to see. Sadly, for reasons unkown to me, often times bitter employees also try to embarass the employers and taint the businesses where they work. Clearly a recent post by a now former employee fits this description.​

So she can't have a little fun on a busy weekend, but he can call her an a**?? Really?? What a buncha nonsense!

 

I'm still not convinced she "bit" anyone's hand. :tonofbricks:

 

No. Freedom of speech is the right to say anything you want about the GOVERNMENT without consequences, not the right to say anything. It's not complicated.

 

Next day on the job tell your boss you don't work with Native Americans. Exercise your free speech. See if it keeps you employed.

 

She didn't say that. She didn't even insult Native Americans. Her sign stated she was "a server at Famous Dave's on Pow Wow weekend." That's all it says. It doesn't say "N/A's are bad tippers," and it doesn't say anything negative about either Famous Dave's or Pow Wow Weekend.

Her former boss is apparently a PC-sensitive boor who needs to get a real life and offer the girl her job back. And she should say, "No thanks. I won't work for you anymore, but thank you very much."

 

I know she didn't say that, but I offered up my example as a way for Salty to exercise his "freedom of speech rights". The point is that the government cannot regulate speech but employers sure can.
