"At will" is pure conservative bullshit, right down to the name being a lie that makes "fired for illegal reasons but wink wink doesn't count" harmful to even discuss.

No relation to Musk's stupidity. Just picking a nit.

That's exactly what I mean. Employees in At Will states can legally be fired for anything short of violations of protected classes, so I'm not sure how he's expecting to win here.

Musk’s philosophy is apparently: if it’s not okay to fire someone for being trans, a woman or for their race, why is it okay to fire someone for being anti-trans, misogynistic or racist?

[–] HughJanus@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

it's on the fired employee to prove it was because of those protected reasons and be able to fight it after the fact in court.

That goes for every other state also soooo...?
