[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 952905, member: 22880"] Again, you and everyone else needs to do some research on what is "free speech". The whole topic of "free speech" concerns speech that is directed from an individual towards the [U]government[/U] - NOT writings which constitute libelous statements or statements which are in direct violation of your employment agreement (should you be employed by the party which you are writing "against"). No one is "free" to engage in libelous or slanderous speech towards other individuals (corporations are considered as individuals). Making a statement of fact is merely a statement of fact. Stating that you are going to take action which is against your employment agreement or which meets the definition of libel - puts one at risk of either losing their job or being taken to civil court. The only "protection" you have is to maintain your anonymity while engaging in anything approaching libelous or contrary to your employment agreement. You (vantexan) have identified yourself and you are an absolute idiot for doing so. You take caution to prevent from writing statements which are grossly libelous, but you are a liability to everyone else here on this list due to your having identified yourself. Here's why. If FedEx ever does decide that something you have written is a violation of your employment agreement (they are the ones that make that decision), they can come at you with everything in their arsenal. But they wouldn't only be interested in terminating your employment. In cases (such as yours) when a party comes after someone who is a minor irritant, they will often attempt to reach an out of court settlement which requires the individual to divulge the identities of others on the forum you may have corresponded to "off line" (identities or email addresses). Get one to be a stool pigeon to "out" the rest... The "truth".... You throw around the term "the truth", but you forget that when it comes down to it, you don't determine what the "truth" is. Concerning your employment, your employer makes the decision as to what the truth is. If you are a party to civil litigation, you have the burden of proving something is true. Yes, something as simple as you received a 3% pay raise this year is the "truth" - you can prove that beyond a reasonable doubt. Proving some of the other things you've stated about FedEx on this list would be quite difficult for you to prove as an individual. When you are either trying to fight to keep your job (after being handed a termination notice) or potentially a defendant in a civil action, you don't have the resources to prove much of anything. This is one of the benefits of being a union member, having some form of legal protection. But you didn't want to go that route and campaign to organize... So don't wrap yourself in a blanket of smugness and believe for a minute that you are protected because you "tell the truth" and have "free speech". You are literally one posting away from FedEx deciding that you are an irritant and dropping the hammer on you and your employment. You've made numerous insinuations, threats and even malicious statements (all in violation of your employment agreement) towards FedEx and those who are employed by FedEx in a management position over you - this opens you up for potential retaliation since you've publically identified yourself. Your continuing to post here while having made it very clear that you have no other personal options for employment is absolutely idiotic. If you don't have any other options in life, you don't kick sand into the face of your employer after having identified yourself. Its called playing with fire and there is a reason why people shouldn't do it - you especially. [/QUOTE]
