"Some guy who is wrong is threatening to beat me up unless I hit you or you change your tweet"

It's not like the employer said "you wrote an unfriendly tweet now you are fired!" The bank was threatening the employer with legal action unless action was taken.

Yeah, and any employee with a shred of self respect would tell the bank to go hang. I've had clients complain about what staff say on social media (not about clients or work!), I just tell them it's none of their or my business, and if they really care, get your lawyers in touch.

Nobody has.

But what kind of case could the bank possibly have against his employer of all people? I would think that any sane judge would dismiss that case as completely ridiculous pretty quickly. His employer is just as much at fault for being spineless and not sticking up for their employee who did nothing wrong as the bank is for harassing him.
