Do they need a reason anymore? Most US is at-will to work.

They don't need a reason to fire you. They need a reason to fire you and not pay unemployment benefits.

  • unemployment benefits are so low do they really care that much?

    Unemployment benefits for me would be 3% annually of my annual salary.

    • Unemployment benefits are so low, they're barely enough to pay for food. Not enough to also pay for utilities, and definitely not enough to pay rent/mortgage.

      This is intended to force you back into the slave market.

    • They don't pay the benefits directly. They pay a tax rate based on how many people who file for unemployment benefits are determined to be eligible for them.
