-- _at_home.com is bogus. I'd say clicking Like on the boss's competition is related to job duties. You also have the free speech right to put up a campaign sign that says "take this job and shove it." That doesn't shield you from the consequences of saying it. http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2012/aug/09/tp-facebook-aclu-say-clicking-like-is-free-speech/Received on Thu Aug 09 2012 - 11:43:46 CDT
