Whether or not it is legal or illegal to terminate an employee for any reason depends on which state you are in. Some states such as Florida, have fire at will. In Florida an employer can terminate an employee for any reason whatsoever. Be careful of what you sign. Get something from your employer. The only thing you might be able to sue him for is slander if he does not watch what he says! In some other states, workers have far more rights. Since most workers have feelers out most of the time, it probably would be difficult for a boss to fire a person for having a feeler out unless he was in a fire at will state.
