    Probably couldn't get them for wrongful termination. At-Will employment is a bitch.

    But he could likely get unemployment for being terminated without cause, which is a different thing.

        In that case, no reason not to walk.

        I knew he'd quit. I was just clarifying that waiting to be fired from a job isn't useful from a "wrongful termination" standpoint because At-Will Employment means "wrongful termination" doesn't really exist in any state except Montana. But if he had been an employee, he would have had grounds to collect unemployment if terminated without cause.
