The way this is phrased is odd and makes me question the company culture. There is nothing in the content of your post that could be deemed as fireable by any reasonable person so I am left to conclude the work environment is a hostile one.

At many large companies, you need to have permission to post about the company. When the number of employees gets into the tens of thousands, odds get very good someone will say something that reflects badly on the company.

Generally, it's not that you can't post, you just can't post an an employee.

The companies generally don't want something like:

"I am a Goodreads employee."

"we know it is bad today."
