Fired already?

I got called into HR office the other afternoon, along with the CEO and a Social Worker.

A friend of mine posted on Facebook about Shitty Hospital. I happened to comment on her post, because I was curious to know more about the reason behind her negativity. Not that there is a good thing to say about where I work...
Anyways, because I had commented "What happened?" that automatically meant that I had so many bad things to say. When I really just wanted to know what happened. After  I started to get notifications out the ass, I deleted my comment, because I wasn't any closer to finding out my answer than I was before I commented. I had just hoped that the bad things weren't about me or my department.

One of my coworkers who has had it out for me since I was an aide turned in my comments, along with saying that I was in on the negativity.

After a 45 minute conversation about how I didn't post anything negative, and I deleted my comment anyways, I was finally told that I could return to the floor, and that someone would call my supervisor and tell them that I would not be fired after all. Really? People are now getting fired for asking questions, with the hopes that if it is about them, they want to try and set things straight? They told us in orientation that if something negative was said about the hospital that we should find out as much information as possible, and then try to straighten it out, or turn in the info to the supervisor so that the complaint can be known. I think that might have been my saving grace, because I after looking the SW in the eyes and quoting her orientation speech, the tables turned to my favor.

Even if I did have something negative to say, when I am off the clock, and I am expressing my own opinion which I am entitled to, should it be right to come back to haunt me later? My Facebook is not associated at all with the hospital, (only the nursing home, because it is nice, and nobody there gives a fuck what we post/say) so unless people know me very closely and know the 2 places I work at, it shouldn't matter.

Maybe this means that I will be blogging more, so nobody knows me.

Tomorrow is Monday. And it is the start of 2 very awesome weeks. I'm going to be very busy, so you can probably expect to see some more from me.
