At-will employment don't allow the employer to engage in unlawful discrimination. See exceptions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At-will_employment#Statutory_exceptions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At-will_employment#Statutory_ex... Not at all saying that any unlawful discrimination happened her, just that this may be the base for a lawsuit, eave if she was on a at-will contract.

Actually it does they just can't say it ;-) Don't like someone's race -- nod-nod-wink-wink => "restructuring" Don't like their sexual orientation -- nod-nod-wink-wink => "tough economic times" Don't like the color of their shoes -- nod-nod-wink-wink => "pivoting" And so on. It can just never be in writing or said explicitly. As long as there is a non-verbal or codified protocol between the owners (managers). To prove anything is an uphill battle -- have to really establish a pattern, as in "20 people were laid off, last year, 25 were hired, all those laid off were of this race". Stuff like that.
