I was laid off by a startup. You're lucky-ish if they even gave a reason. They're usually too afraid of getting sued.

In most cases, there isn't much you can do. Most employment arrangements are 'at-will.' You can quit anytime. They can fire you at any time, with or without cause. What they can't do (legally) is fire you for something protected by law. My mom won a case against a former employer, because their given reason for firing her was BS, and the actual reason was disability. It took a long time, and the award was pretty insignificant, so it's questionable whether it was worth the trouble. Her boss ended up fired and had a heart attack, so there's that.

Lawyer Couples:
I’m currently an associate (no kids) in a very busy corp group (think 50-60 billable weekly). My wife works significantly less (currently part time, 10-15, but hopefully will be full time soon). I find myself getting upset when asked to help with basic household things (trash, cooking etc.) when she’s been lounging around watching Netflix all day. Am I being reasonable or am I a misogynist? How do you deal with one person having significantly more free time than the other?
