No. The first amendment protects against *government* overreach. A private business is not subject to that in this case.

Answer:

The First Amendment; freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom to assemble, freedom to petition the government.

Freedom of Speech isn't exactly obligated in this sentence, but it's hard to come-by since it's a business' own employee.

The employee might have not intertwined his/her work industry within the comment, but when hiring someone, what are the best qualities needed? Kind, hard-working, selfless, helpful, and devoted, right? Unfortunately, a good way to get sales is to make your company look better. You don't want a racist guy, who people know works at your company, to be spreading their beliefs around like wildfire and racially discriminate people.

The employee may have Freedom of Speech, but that does NOT mean they can be protected by it in this situation. Rules are obligational to the Amendments. Like in school, when they told you to be quiet and you wouldn't, what'd you get? A punishment. Rules are obligational across every community that can walk, talk, think, read and write.

So my answer is no. As I stated above, rules are obligational, and whoever set those rules has right to punish whoever breaks those rules. Freedom of Speech can't help you in every situation.

TERRAIN (OCOKA) or Recognition. ITEM 4. If there is sufficient time, a personal recognition must be made for the analysis of the terrain, adjusting the plan according to what is found, confirming the possibility of using the routes and the time it takes to carry out the emergency movements, otherwise you can do a reconnaissance using a map. At this point, explosive instruments must be recognized and deactivated.

Answer:

The planning fallacy

Explanation:

The planning fallacy concept was first given by Denial Kahneman in 1977.it is the most universal and consistent demonstrated cognitive bias that most people do have. There is common misconception related to the planning fallacy is that people underestimate the time, cost and risk that it will take to do something, If they have already experience about the task entails. It is an overly optimistic plan.  

<u>For example:</u> A house can be built on time, if there is no payment delay, no employee absences, no hazardous weather conditions. But there is most probably chances of one condition that can occur.  

Underestimate the fallacy will lead a project in delaying. Optimism is a great quality but sometimes it creates hazardous when you underestimate time and cost and will leads to the in-completion of the projects.
