Nobody will ever pass the regulation you want. And they shouldn’t. It’s a bad idea.

Never say never. I think it’s entirely possible. And I think it’s an excellent idea. Embarrassing a company online does no good. The employee is still fired. The mortgage in Atlanta company didn’t take back Mrs Rolfe despite the fact that their social media was basically shut down by negative comments. Oakland University in Michigan didn’t take back Mr. Wuestenberg, despite them having to take down their Facebook page. And the comments on this insurance company’s Facebook page are overwhelmingly positive. So how does that help this guy? Would you support the insurance company firing this guy just for his T-shirt alone even if he didn’t have his outburst? Because some of the comments on the insurance company Facebook page are calling this T-shirt white supremacist and imperialist. What if there was no outburst? What if he was videotaped just wearing this T-shirt and his employer fired him? Do you support that? You wouldn’t want any protections in place at all to protect someone in that situation? Livelihood ruined just for wearing a T-shirt?

Unacceptable and un-American.

No it will NEVER happen. The lobbyist would kill it if it started. And it would get killed in court. Somebody would violate their NDA on social media, get fired, sued, and the courts would point out that the law is beyond stupid and entirely unenforceable.

If your behavior get tied to the company and causes the company embarrassment, buh bye. There’s NOTHING new about this concept. The only difference is how much easier it is now to do something stupid and get it tied in public to your company. People should be smart. And your “what ifs” are all strawmen and pointless. Reality is the guy acted like a stupid baby, and it got linked to his employer. He’s a moron, and probably should have been fired just for that.
