You certainly can when you HIRE, so I don't see why you couldn't when you FIRE.

You can in Nebraska. Hire and fire at will. They don't have to tell you anything except "pack up your shit and get out". That's the way it should be, IMO.

Legally you can, but it doesn't work well in a Politically Correct world. Even Corporations in at will states are terrified of wrongful termination suits. It still comes down to having a good lawyer to win against your former employer.

Right, that's how my former employer did me. After 9 years of dedicated service they brought me in one day and fired me. Refused to give me a reason, because that's what their scumbag lawyers told them to do.

So MY lawyer helped me prove that I myself was wrongfully terminated, despite being in an "at will" state. That was over a year ago and my former company is still paying me for it.

If I was like that I could have sued and won. And I didn't even get fired for my looks....now think about how bad it would've been for them if they'd have fired someone who actually wants to sue for their looks?

Like I said, at will is largely bullshit.

If you don't mind me asking, how was it wrongful termination? What law did they break?

I don't know of any law that was broken, as this is an at will state.

That doesn't mean they aren't liable however.

Its legal for me to shoot an intruder in Texas, but if I don't kill him he's going to sue me and I'm going to lose.

not anymore, they fixed that loophole, though a dead thief is better then a live one.
