近年来，随着互联网的普及，员工在网络上发表对公司的批评和不满成为一种常见的现象。然而，这种行为是否合法合规，是否构成名誉侵权，一直是法律界和公众关注的焦点。
据工人日报报道，员工因对公司管理不满或讨薪不成等原因在网上发表批评公司的言论，有的被法院判定为侵犯公司名誉权，有的则被认定为合理合法。这些案例反映出，员工“吐槽东家”并非没有边界，侮辱诽谤确实要承担法律责任。
北京中凯(杭州)律师事务所律师季巧士表示，员工在网络上发表的言论如果构成诽谤或侵犯名誉权，公司有权提起诉讼，要求员工赔礼道歉并赔偿损失。然而，如果员工的言论是基于事实，且没有超出正常意见表达的限度，那么即使言辞激烈，也不一定构成侵权。
例如，上海浦东人民法院审理的一起案件中，员工邱某在网上发表对公司的负面评价，虽然用词不当，但法院并未认定其行为侵犯了公司的名誉权。这表明，员工在网络上发表批评言论时，应当基于事实，保持理性，避免使用侮辱性语言，以避免承担法律责任。
专家认为，法院在审理此类案件时，应严格对侵害法人名誉权的认定，适当弱化对法人名誉权的保护尺度，充分考虑劳动者的合理怀疑权利。同时，员工在发表言论前也应当三思，避免因一时冲动而触犯法律。

News Title: “Complaint Boundaries: Employees Post Criticism of Employers, Exploring Defamation Issues”
Keywords: Complaint Boundaries, Defamation, Legal and Ethical
News Content: In recent years, as the Internet has become more widespread, employees criticizing their companies online has become a common phenomenon. However, whether such behavior is legally and ethically acceptable, and whether it constitutes defamation, has been a focal point of legal and public attention.
According to The Labor Daily, employees who post critical comments about their companies online due to dissatisfaction with management or failed attempts to collect wages have been judged by courts in some cases to have infringed upon the company’s reputation, while in others, their actions have been recognized as legal and ethical. These cases indicate that there are indeed boundaries to “complaining about one’s employer,” and that defamation and slander do carry legal consequences.
Lawyer Ji Qiaoshi from Beijing Zhe Kai (Hangzhou) Law Firm stated that if an employee’s online comments constitute slander or infringe upon the company’s reputation, the company has the right to file a lawsuit, demanding an apology and compensation for losses. However, if the employee’s comments are based on facts and do not exceed the limits of normal expression of opinion, even if the language is harsh, it may not necessarily constitute infringement.
For example, in a case heard by the Pudong People’s Court in Shanghai, employee Qiu posted negative evaluations of the company online, although using inappropriate language. The court did not find that his behavior infringed upon the company’s reputation. This indicates that when employees post critical comments online, they should base their statements on facts, remain rational, and avoid using abusive language to avoid legal consequences.
Experts believe that courts in handling such cases should strictly define the criteria for recognizing infringement of the reputation of legal persons, appropriately weaken the protection of the reputation of legal persons, and fully consider the reasonable suspicion rights of workers. At the same time, employees should also reflect before making comments to avoid inadvertently violating the law out of a moment of impulse.
