I've heard that sentiment, but does that actually happen? At least without the company being sued for violating someones freedom of speech.

The last very public case I'm aware of was Damore at google, which they must've settled outside of court.

Are you familiar with cancel culture? Free speech does not apply in private companies. Post something stupid on the inter webs, and you will lose your job and have no recourse.

It's not just that they target jobs but they also try to keep people from getting new ones after being fired. Ironic that these same people are often the ones saying that housing and food are human rights then they effectively try to take them from people for disagreeing.
