If you in "at will" state, then you can be terminated for any cause.

Yes definitely. It sucks, but they can let you go at any time

Companies will term you for anything.

Whether or not that term would survive a “wrongful termination” suit depends on the state, the circumstances, and the evidence you could potentially bring to a lawsuit.

A lot of companies will unlawfully terminate employees without realizing they are breaking the law. But unless someone challenges them on it, they will continue to get away with it.

Yes

Yes

YES

The harsh truth I learnt during my career is companies are within their legal right to terminate you for no reason whatsoever so as long as they give you notice and pay. (typically 2 weeks + severance).

I don't live in the US. Here the rule is 1 week for every year you worked as base minimum. But if you take it to a lawyer you can get up to 4 weeks per year.

This is not true. There are still laws that protect at will employees. If it happens, and I hope that it doesn’t, get a free consultation w an employment lawyer and see what they think

Hi all, was hoping for clarity on offers from FANG/Tier 2 tech I received recently. Base pay is still within range of 130-150K, but equity components have dropped dramatically. For reference, for similar positions, I was receiving grants of 150K - 200K over 4 years for data analyst positions (4-5 YOE) in Aug’21-Feb’22. For personal reasons, I did not accept these offers. Now the equity grants are coming in like 50-70K over 4 years. Is this market wide for non SWE/PM roles due to stock market?

My company cut staff to 4 days/wk to save funds. I was getting requests from coworkers for docs needed urgently on our day off (fridays). I would oblige them. But then, I learned that those same coworkers had been put back to 5 days because they were deemed “essential“. I felt foolish and decided to stop working on fridays. One EVP (not the GC) in particular has been aggressively texting/calling me on fridays. How Do I tactfully respond? My out-of-office email is not enough of a hint...

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
