IOW, I’ll have to take your word for it.

If you doubt my experience, I’d be glad to provide proof.

I was just offering perspective from those of us who actually have to deal with the issues, rather than those whose only experience is to editorialize.

With full facts, the public would favor at-will employment eventually.

Oh, please. “At-will” is code for I can fire you because today ends in a “y”. My sister-in-law got fired by her boss for something an underling did, and the ensuing investigation (required because the charge involved a mentally handicapped patient temporarily “escaping”) uncovered lie after lie from the boss. The judge finally cleared my SIL, and ripped the boss up and down for misleading the court. When we met with a lawyer about further options, we were told there was nothing we could do. It was in an at-will state, meaning firing someone based on a lie is just fine.

Would you want that type of treatment in your job?
