Your right about that, expressing an opinion does not make you a bad employee. It's the means you express the opinion in which can cause problems. The duck dynasty guy who took a lot of shit for saying what he said. A lot of people feel that way and a lot of people disagree with what he said, that does not mean he should not lose his show. I can understand pressures from others in the numbers that had problems with what he said being a factor. It does not make it right that he may lose his job, to satisfy the offended people they will probably let him go. In this day and age, it's sometimes best to keep your opinions to yourself if your in certain professional positions.
I feel two ways about it. If his employer wants to fire him they should be able to. On the other hand if there's a trend of people losing their livelihood from expressing an opinion that could be trouble. This person in particular won't be punished by it too badly he probably has enough money.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
