Citation needed. In most US states you can be fired for no reason at all.

Here's the quote you're looking for > that's the difference between countries where workers are protected and where they are not. > You can't fire someone just because they posted pictures online only because you don't like them, *where I live.* https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30843101 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30843101 USA is specifically *not* one of those countries.
- refurb 5y agoI’d love to know which country protects disclosing confidential data explicitly forbidden in your work contract because it’s on “personal time”.
- detaro 5y agoYour work contract explicitly says "you can't disclose confidential data that's not related to your employment"? Fairly sure mine only talks about data related to my employment (i.e. company data, customer data, ... - anything I got access to through work).
- refurb 5y agoSo if some outsider leaked a confidential document from your employer and you posted it on Twitter you'd be fine because "it's not related to your work"? I somehow doubt it.
