Would you be willing to bet your job and livelihood on that, just to make a social media post? Even if you don't get fired, it's the very definition of career limiting - and if you do get fired for cause, your chances of working in the industry again are not good. I don't know about FC, but in my case my handle is such that anyone who really wanted to know could figure out who I am in short order.
I started posting before I retired, but I was really careful about what I posted (I dearly wanted to call out a certain member for some BS he wrote about the 747-8 fuel burn, but couldn't because the data I had access to was considered proprietary. Then I saw exactly what I wanted to post in the Everett Herald newspaper - I didn't hold back after that).
Now that I'm retired (out of the game for about 30 months) I'm not as concerned, but I still have to be a bit careful since I still know stuff that's considered proprietary.
