I can fired for _ANY_ negative postings. So at first I thought this is
far reaching and intrusive, but in thinking about it, if I identify
myself, they think I can be traced back to their company and therefore
anything I say can have an effect on them.


It's so funny to see employers try to word their bull**** with legalize
to try to make sound all official and legal. A lot of it is not. An
"extension of the workplace?" What complete bull****. They can say what
they want, it doesn't make it legal and it's doesn't supersede your 1st
amendment rights.

That being said, my state, TN, is a right-to-work and fire-at-will
state, meaning they have laws allowing employers to fire an employee
without cause, for any reason at all. Now, we all know there are federal
laws prohibiting employers from firing anyone based on race, gender,
religion, etc. So, even if an employer is firing someone because of a
reason prohibited by law, as long as they give some other reason, it is
legal.

They can say nothing, they can say, we just don't like him, they can
say, he smells funny. :-)
