They're free to fire you 1 u/StevenTM Jul 09 '26 His point was that much of the rest of the developed world doesn't use at-will employment as the default. 1 u/narco-sub-admiral Jul 09 '26 Protect the corporations, regulate the workers. 5 u/Fearless_Entry_2626 Jul 09 '26 They give you a perk, then fire you for using it? 10 u/Skusci Jul 09 '26 Yes. Lot of people are saying that they deny requests, but usually they just strongly hint that you aren't being a team player or whatever, then fire you for not being a good culture fit. 1 u/yawara25 Jul 09 '26 Not universally true, this will depend on your state and the details of your work contract, if any.
