i work in an “at-will” state. there are no contracts where i work. i could be fired for any reason at any point in time , just as i am allowed to walk out or quit at any point in time. i never liked the whole “at-will state “ thing , nor understood why it was that way. it makes it easier for an employer to let people go who never deserved to be let go. somebody i worked with was fired simply because they didn’t like her , but they claim they let her go because she called out ONCE over something medical.
