do you think it is ok for employees to have consequences for what they say ?
It really depends. It isn't alright for an employer to fire someone because they draw attention to illegal acts made by the company (called the whistle blower act). However, if you are, say, working for a politician, and go to a reporter and say the politician secretly wants to negotiate on a bill. That's compromising a policy.

Freedom of speech may not be a right, but it is expected of any employer.


Don't forget this is all in good fun!
