A private company can do a whole lot to keep their company running the way they want it. You have the Constitution, but want to carry a gun to work? Nope, 2nd Amendment doesn't apply. Want to go into the break room and say the boss is an idiot and not get fired? 1st Amendment doesn't apply.
Employers have their rights and freedoms, too. Yet you just say they have to take whatever any employee does or does not do, when it can have a major impact on their company/product? That's that false sense of entitlement that the whole world must bend to conform to YOUR sense of rights and freedoms, when it is not their responsibility to do so. Your sense of right and wrong for you has a cost. Do it or don't, but do not think everyone has to suck it up.
That reminds me of when I worked event security and people would insist they had the right to carry knives into stadium because the city ordinance said knives of X amount of inches were permissible and theyd accuse me of not knowing the laws. I'd have to explain that this is private property and the team/venue had the rights to set their own rules and so on and so forth.
