Some of you people really ought to I don't know , READ, the COTUS. the first amendment does NOT guarantee you free speech at your place of employment. It ONLY pertains to the government.
Why people believe free speech means they can say anything they want without consequence is just beyond me.
Well, other than the obvious fact that most people are stupid wastes of oxygen.
The constitution applies, for example, constitutional principles to prevent discrimination over sex, gender, race, and religious belief. That necessarily covers speech as well, albeit to a limited degree.
Yeah laws that force businesses to not discriminate are 100% unconstitutional. That is a fucking fact.
But even if you disagreed with that, you can be sure that as a business owner I can say "no shirts with religious motifs may be worn at work" and that would be legal under current law.
You have NO expectations of freedom of speech from your employer. NONE.
And further you dumb fuck , think it out. If the COTUS applied. Employers could not bar their employees from carrying guns to work. You would be entitled to have a lawyer present at any disciplinary meeting, you could refuse to take a drug test and they couldn't fire you, etc etc etc.
