minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•1 year agoNope. You can just get laid off for “no reason.”
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink-3•edit-21 year agoNo you can’t. Labor laws are a very real thing.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink8•edit-21 year agoYes, that’s the entire point of “at-will” employment. There are protected classes, but “for no reason” is quite legal in most states, which is the terrible reality.
