No that’s not how free speech works. It only means that the government won’t try to suppress your speech. Your definition would allow racists to spout bigotry at their job with no consequences.

Where did I say racists should be allowed to spout bigotry at their job? I mean employees shouldn't be fired for speech outside of work that isn't related to their job.

So if I say that all members of x racial group should die on Facebook I shouldn’t be fired? Is it okay if I espouse that view in confidence to someone and it gets leaked to the media should I not be fired?

You won't be fired if "x" means White. People of European descent are uniquely denied the ability to advocate for their own racial interests.

You sound like a racist. If someone said that on Facebook though I would be fine with them being fired
