- tptacek 8y agoYou think maybe employment at will is just waiting to be tested in the Supreme Court?
- richardknop 8y agoMaybe it should.
- sonnyblarney 8y ago"You think maybe employment at will is just waiting to be tested in the Supreme Court?" It's in court right now. And it always will be.
- dionidium 8y agoOn what grounds are you doubtful? The concept of protected classes is well-defined and well-tested and "office lovebirds" aren't one of those classes.
- haikuginger 8y agoFor fuck's sake, "being gay" isn't even one of those classes.

- FireBeyond 8y agoAbout the same as "employee says controversial thing in personal life". In other words, employer has absolutely every right to fire them for their self-expression.
- sonnyblarney 8y ago"About the same as "employee says controversial thing in personal life"" No way. Two people falling in love is not in the same category as someone saying public things.
