You can be fired from your job at any time, with or without warning, for any reason not specifically prohibited by law or for no reason at all. You can be fired for a false reason, a mean reason, a reason that is unfair or even capricious--as long as the law does not specifically prohibit firing you for that reason. It turns out that there are really very few reasons under the law for which you can't be fired (age, sex, race, etc.) and that it is extremely difficult to prove such discrimination in court. Even if the boss has a prohibited reason in mind she can give a reason that is not illegal, or she can refuse to give any reason at all. You Could Be Fired For Reading This Book is an easy-to-understand guide to employment law and its effects on-and-off the job. At-Will employment (also called "The Fundamental Rule") undermines employment rights and economic security--You Could Be Fired For Reading This Book shows what you can do about it now. This book gives you tools to radically improve employment rights by ending At-Will employment.
