minus-square@SpaceNoodlelink2•1 year agoNope. You can just get laid off for “no reason.” arrow-up15arrow-down13file-textreply1starmore-verticalmailMessageflagCreate ReportslashBlock user

minus-square@SpaceNoodlelink8•edit-21 year agoYes, that’s the entire point of “at-will” employment. There are protected classes, but “for no reason” is quite legal in most states, which is the terrible reality.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink-2•1 year agoThat depends on where you’re working. If you’re working for a company in an industry that tends to lay people off at certain times, then yeah you’re probably to be laid off in the future. Most companies aren’t like that though. arrow-up12arrow-down14file-textreply1starmore-verticalmailMessageflagCreate ReportslashBlock user
