I once told my design director to go fuck himself out loud in a team meeting as I was sticking up for the entire team, I didn't get fired, but I did get a bunch of bullshit excuses why they wouldn't increase my pay on my review.

There is no freedom of speech at work. Especially not in a "right to work" state where the boss can fire you for any reason they want.

Freedom of speech ≠ being absolved from responsibility to uphold things like decorum in the workplace, professional behaviour or outright pissing people off because you technically can.
- this is true. but here we see how boss money changes the world based on boss preferenceomg

Do you honestly think you have them?
I recently heard a story of this guy who told a funny story at work. The guy worked at this unknown design agency for this unnamed big corporation we all know. Problem is that the story was retold and retold til the boss heard it, whom did not like it one bit.
So in comes some deception. People close to the boss, stepped into production and purposely persuaded bad decisions based on this story. The final outcome was the final product looked bad for the client. Based on the story, it went back to the storyteller who said his story was a joke. He did not know this was going to affect design decisions. The guy was immediately fired for his joke that created problems in production, causing confusion, thereby disrupting work.
