Ok, so at work recently my hours got knocked down from 35hrs/wk to 7hrs/week. I personally told management the NEED to fix it because I cannot afford to live off of those hours and they can't do that without telling me before hand.
Well, they do it anyways and so I post something on facebook about how best buy sucks and I can't make ends meet off their hours. So I get an email from my manager today saying "we might have to terminate you for the derogatory things you have posted on facebook about best buy and the hours we are giving you."
Now technically is what I said covered under freedom of speech since it was said on my FREE time at HOME and I'm not saying "dont shop at best buy because they suck" but just that they suck because I don't get enough hours? I know...run-on sentence but whatever. I think I'm turning this into a big thing because I literally told her "if you fire me for that I will sue you and the company for wrongful termination and all hell will break loose on you." After that she said "well, we will see if we can raise your hours then."
Now if I get fired for what I said on facebook, can I actually sue for that? Don't care about the money...just proving the point! I already applied and have virtually been given the job as a ramp person at an aviation place.
