A Job Layoff May Be About More Than Just the Economy
California's "at will" employment relationships mean that an employer or employee can end the employment relationship at any time and for any reason. There is an exception however. If the employee is let go based on discrimination, retaliation or other adverse reasons, then it is illegal.
Currently, job layoffs are affecting more people than we'd like to admit. But, do you have a nagging feeling that your job loss has more to do with discrimination than it has to do with the economy or a struggling business?
