Do Freepers really believe this?
Really?
During working hours, if an employee is taking actions that are doing harm to the business, yes, I believe that. It is astounding that you apparently do not.
If the boss is an ahole, an employee may believe it is his right to flip him off in the presence of other employees, but I am pretty sure that freedom of speech will result in termination.
The Freedom of Speech is not a Freedom from Consequences.
