Bill of Rights
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Not to be rude, but the key words of this Amendment are "CONGRESS shall make no LAW". Our culture today enjoys mis-quoting the 1st amendment and conforming it to whatever interpretation they want it to mean.
If someone wants to bad mouth their employer, they have the liberty to do that, there's no LAW against it. However, the employer has just as much "free speech" to say "seeya later pal", and it does not matter who that employer is. Let's review: Amendment 1 is talking about CONGRESS (i.e. not schools, post office, or any other gov't agency) passing LAWS.
Sorry, had to get that off my chest.
