@fesshole in Sweden it's actually illegal (disparaging your employer), you have a duty of loyalty from what I've been told

@Moah

In Sweden, the employer also has a duty to you. Very different system.

Moah

@argv_minus_one The common point is you better be unionized

@Moah Well, in Sweden 65,2% of the workforce are unionized. Only Denmark, Cuba and Iceland have a higher percentage. @argv_minus_one

@Moah @fesshole there's a loyalty principle for employees, but we also have freedom of expression. So you're expected to not make statements meant to harm your employer, but you still have a right to speak up about eg. dangerous situations and infringement of your worker rights, etc.

@Natanael_L @fesshole I was told (as a swedish employee) that were supposed to raise these issues internally

@Moah @fesshole usually it's where you should start, but companies can't use that to shut down complaints. You have a right to speak to union representatives, etc, and whistleblowing is protected in our constitution

@Moah @Natanael_L @fesshole you can alert authorities (European union enforces whistleblowers protection)

We have the same case in France as you have in Sweden

@Moah @fesshole Surely that doesn't mean you have to praise them? Refusing to say anything about them without any justification should also get the point across in general.

@Moah @fesshole You've been told wrong. Swedish work culture is weird in some ways, but it's not quite that bad. Here's an article from a while back saying such a clause in a contract would likely be unconstitutional: sverigesradio.se/artikel/72898
