Feds Settle Case of Woman Fired Over Facebook Posts 316
Mr.Intel writes "Employers should think twice before trying to restrict workers from talking about their jobs on Facebook or other social media. That's the message the government sent on Monday as it settled a closely watched lawsuit against a Connecticut ambulance company that fired an employee after she went on Facebook to criticize her boss in 2009."

I seriously doubt that if the owner of Lake Louie [lakelouie.com] caught one of his employees enjoying the latest concoction from Dogfish Head [dogfish.com] that there would be any problem. People who make beer know how to enjoy and appreciate beer, even if they didn't make it.
Maybe you meant those companies advertise beer but actually bottle alcoholic horse urine? Since Budweiser and Miller both bottle the same thing, I could see why they might get a little upset if one of their employees was drinking horse urine from the other company.

If your boss being an asshole is a trade secret, that's a big red flag.
