I guess the real question here is, do you think employers should be allowed to fire employees for political remarks they make outside of the office? I know this was a speech, but couldn't EY also fire people for posts they share on social media? Where does it end?

Of course. Why shouldn’t an employer be able to terminate someone who makes shitty comments.

It reflects badly on the entire org.

It reminds me how people would say they were "canceled" for saying something not "politically correct." Reality is that people pay attention to what we say and we need to be mindful about it.

They can fire you for any reason. That is how at will employment works. Not sure what the basis of the lawsuit is.

Yes. Full stop.

Employees actions impact the firm. Right or wrong, what we say and do is viewed as an extension of the firm and obviously can have negative impact in our clients relationships.

Well. They were right to fire him/her because their speech isn't protected from repercussions by the employer. If he/she were smart enough to understand that, they wouldn't be suing. So, it sounds like the person is quite unemployable due entirely to their poor logic and understanding of common sense things.

Beyond that, even in a true contractual employment relationship, an employer can often fire an employee for cause for comments that reflect negatively on the employer

EY has a social media policy. If this violated that (couldn't find article), then this might have been grounds for dismissal.

The reality is they could fire you today for bringing the firm into disrepute or they could fire you in three months for missing util/sales target because no client will accept that person on their project so they will be on the beach the whole time and that canned...
