most employees in the United States are employed at will. The law allows them to be fired for cause or for no cause. A boss, under the law, may fire even a long-term employee simply because the boss does not like the person.

∙ 12y agobasically, yes - that's what it means. It's doubtful they would say "You're fired", or call it that, though. They would call it "letting you go", and have all kinds of "soft" reasons for it. Bottom line: If you are an at-will (of the employer) employee, they can drop you whenever they want.

Can you get fired for having red hair?
It depends on the state. Some states are "at will" work states, which means the employee can quit at any time for any reason, and an employer can let an employee go for any reason at any time. If you're serious about the question, it's unlikely you would get fired for that, but if you were, the employer would probably give some other more reasonable sounding reason.

Yes. Most employees are at-will meaning they can be fired at any time for any or no reason. Electronic defamation is actually a very good reason. Contract employees are subject to the terms of their contract - but electronic defamation is probably covered as an acceptable reason for termination.

What reasons can an exempt employee be fired?
Insufficient information to answer the question. In the business and commercial world the title "exempt employee" can have several meanings. GENERALLY SPEAKING however, unless your position is protected by a personal contract, or a labor contract, your employer has the right to discharge you or lay you off for many reasons. In the so-called 'right-to-work' states, you can be terminated, fired, or laid off at any time for any reason.
