Either way the manager is insane in this story so I’m not sure what their motivation is.
- jeffbee 6y agoNot sure why you think this. You can fire anyone whenever you want for any or no reason in the state of California. The only exceptions are when you have a written or implied contract that makes you not “at-will”. The best way to be an exception to “at-will” in California is to be paid in advance.
- almost_usual 6y agoIf you’re fired without good reason or paper trail and live in California take your employer to court. They still need good cause for termination.

- almost_usual 6y agoIf you think letting employers bend you over without good reason is the way to live your life then go for it.
- valuearb 6y agoIf you think giving out clearly incorrect legal advice that ignores the rules of at-will employment isn’t going to cost anyone who follows it dearly, go for it.
- tinus_hn 6y agoIt’s not that bad, to go to court would require a lawyer who would tell them if there’s any chance of success or not.
