I believe... In the USA you cannot sue your employer for firing you unless it's for membership of a protected class or whistleblowing. If your employer wants to fire you because it's Thursday or they're just having a bad day or they don't like something you wrote in an email, tough.
- collegeburner 4y agoso you're talking about at-will employment and it's generally the rule in America. however there are some states that have a good faith rule where you can't terminate a employee for malice. here's a map of which states are which: https://www.paycor.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Employment-at-Will-Laws-by-State-map.png https://www.paycor.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Employment... i believe WSJ employs in NY state so this doesn't apply.
- junofan 4y agoNo, employment law is much more complicated than that.
- xyzzyz 4y agoEvery single person is a member of a protected class. Men are just as much a protected class as women are, and whites are just as much a protected class as blacks are. At least, this is what the law says, because I don’t think that all of these classes are actually equally protected by law in practice.
