Startup touts unconditional employee speech on X as recruiting perk, sparking backlash

Corgi employee @nicoleclash says she joined the small startup partly for its "unconditional freedom of speech" for employees on X, after being asked at a previous job to delete an insulting comment. Critics counter that pro-speech values don't justify employees attacking strangers from personal accounts, and the thread touches on how women's public speech is judged more harshly across industries.
