I mean, they can't do that, 1st amendment and all.

I'm not saying that talking 'politics' at work is wise thing to do, but in the US at least, all people have the explicit right to do so. There have been a fair few SCOTUS cases on this one.

The 1st amendment only applies to government control of speech. You may have the right to your speech, but the company doesn't have to employ you [0], especially in an at-will state.

Damn. We'll then, yeah, I guess Goog could do that. It's be a death-knell for their company culture, but they could then. Thanks for the link!
