    You can be fired for almost anything.

    They just may have to pay unemployment.

      There are still limits, even in at will and right to work states there are some protections.

      Revoking approved time off after it’s already started is definitely a valid reason for a wrongful termination lawsuit. Especially if you have evidence of previous bullshit.

      That’s why you should always get everything that seems even remotely bullshit in writing, and have your own backups.

        Any time someone is terminated without cause, the employer simply doesn’t provide a reason for termination. They’re not required to.

      You can’t be fired for unlawful reasons. Being fired for taking an agreed upon vacation is illegal retaliation.

        They just lie about it. You get your unemployment granted. Especially in the shittiest jobs this is how it goes.

        Sounds like you haven’t been in the American work force.

        They can fire you for any reason. Or no reason. Nothing matters because if you’re a wage slave nobody cares.

        Plus they probably made you sign a waiver to work there saying that you couldn’t ever sue them for any reason.

      They did have to pay unemployment, but they tried really hard to discourage me from seeking it, saying I likely wasn’t even eligible for it and not to even bother filing.

        Lovely. This one weird trick saves thousands and only costs people who don’t matter.

        Wow, that’s shitty of them… Like, what do you even lose for trying? They knew they were going to have to pay up if you applied, those bastards were trying to gaslight you.

        I hate corpos so damned much

      Yeah, but it can be in direct retalliation, it must be based on work performance. Normally the former is hard to prove, but sometimes it’s obvious.

        That’s simply not accurate in 49 out of 50 states.

        Basically, you can be fired for any reason aside from membership in a protected class.

        But if you are terminated without cause, you can collect unemployment, which the further employer is required to pay.
