[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They can't make you stay, but they can fire you if you leave.[/quote] Right, but why wouldn't someone sue for that? I guess I have seen people sue for dumber things. I had a friend sue because she was fired during maternity leave. Her lawyer said she didn't have a case, but that the company handled it so poorly they would likely chicken out and settle. They did and she got a better package. Not saying that is right or wrong, and I have never sued, I'm just saying people sue and am surprised employers aren't scared of this.[/quote] Maternity is a protected class suit - that's different. An employee could sue for wrongful termination here, citing perhaps treatment inconsistent with stated policy, but it would be an uphill battle. Odds are the company would point to a pattern of issues, rather than this single instance, and they'd not need litigate in an at will environment. Source: I'm good at making shit up[/quote]
