Where does her company's handbook say that they govern your conduct outside of work hours? If I were to choose to flip the President (or anyone) the bird while off work and I didn't represent myself as a member of my company, I'd sue the living crap out of anyone who used that as justification to fire me.

I would probably be amused if i saw my employee get caught doing this if no company branding. Since when did companies get to control you in your own free time? Orwell would be proud.

Since employment is voluntary she can do what she likes and so can they. Why should an employer be forced to retain an employee they don't want? Oh, I forgot you guys dont really like the concept of ownership, no communist ever does.

My company's claim to my actions starts at 8 and ends around 5. Corporate ownership of an employee is not capitalism, it's slavery.
