It might be grounds for a harassment complaint though.

"My boss is an asshole" is not a charge that will get you very far.

That is even remotely legal under the first amendment?

How can rick scott essentially stop people from using the phrase climate change?

A lawyer should have already filed for an emergency Constitutional motion for a stay of the sudden change in policy, and then have Scott explain in Court by say next Friday, speech restriction lifted until then, and then explain why this apparent gag order is not a gross violation of the 1st....that would be fun.

Or Better Call Saul.

some other suit along the lines of wrongful termination.

It's certainly grounds for publicizing the Governor as a dumb shit, although I understand his problem with telling Miami and the Keys that they will eventually be underwater.

Before folks in The Keys never get a chance to defend their homes from climate change - by impeaching Scott tomorrow.

If so, they could fire you for saying the word hello and you wouldn't have a leg to stand on. In a RTW state, your so-called job security is based on your bosses mood that day.

institutions then.

But then look at who is doing the act of making the statement. Scott is telling someone they can't use words that are well known and completely believable words, as concerns climate science. It is Scott who needs the mental exam.

Round and round we go. Maybe there is too much round-up in the food?

The employee is not a public figure. I suspect Rick Scott is in more legal hot water than he realizes.

This won't be the end of it.

Telling a public official that he can't use public words to describe a public meeting?

The employee is a public official. He would not be doing his job properly were he to follow the demands of Scott and not use the proper terms in describing the words used at a public meeting.

Lets just hope the press doesn't throw Scott a life saving device as they are so apt to do with overboard republicans.

I'm not a lawyer, but apart from the other issues that alone should be subject at least to administrative appeal. Mr. Bibler probably is getting or being offered plenty of legal help to sort through his options and determine what recourse he has.
