    it literally says they were fired for using a mouse jiggler.

    However, I live in a so-called right-to-work state, which means my employer can do whatever the fuck they like - but the flip side is - so can I.

    The contract I signed doesn’t mention which or how many hours I work, just that I don’t disclose privileged information to competitors.

      Right to work laws have nothing to do with at-will employment, which it what you’re describing. Right to work laws prevent unions from collecting dues from non-union members. That’s all.

      Before anyone jumps on and says right to work laws prevent union shops from requiring membership in a union as a condition of employment, that was the Taft-Hartley act of 1947.

        ok fair, I meant - via synecdoche - the cluster of (or lack of) employment laws that make things flexible for employers works both ways.

        It is very different in countries with strict employment laws

          Sorry, I’m usually a bit more tactful! I’m not trying to criticize, just inform.

      Lmao that’s not how “right to work” works. That’s how having a contract works lmao
