You can't be fired for no reason. The at will states just don't have a stupid amount of red tape around getting rid of a useless employee.
yes you can. In an at will state the company doesn't have to give you any reason at all.
They don't have to give a reason. However, if there isn't proof of a valid reason for letting someone go, that employee can easily collect unemployment & raise the UI rates for the former employer. Too much of a risk to not have a paper trail on the employer's end. I hated doing it, but I never had to pay out unemployment for firing someone.
Depending on the state you can get fired for no reason
