Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Syndie's actions fall under the concept of free speech, but there are limitations to this right in the workplace. Employers have the right to take action if an employee's speech creates a hostile work environment or harms the company's reputation. In this case, Syndie's blog post could create a negative work environment and hurt the company's business, resulting in management's request for her to remove the post or face disciplinary action.
