    Indeed. That still happens. Just you have to have a valid reason to fire them. Not liking someone is a petty reason to fire someone. Not doing their job is another thing altogether.

      the “valid reason” is you don’t like them, why would we want to force people to work together who don’t like each other?

            OK I’ll bite. Noone is being forced to work together. If you don’t like a colleague you can find a new job. But you can’t get someone fired just because you don’t like them, that is petty, selfish and childish. You seem to be taking extreme examples. Try looking at how the world outside America actually handles employment law before making wild assumptions that protecting employees from mini dictators means that people are forced to work together.

        That isn’t a valid reason to stop paying someone though.

        Since they need that pay in order to survive.

        So every developed nation requires employers to pay their fired workers a couple of months of pay in advance.

          > I don’t want to work at this company anymore so I quit, I just don’t feel like working here anymore

          Seems ok for the employee to quit “at will” so why not for the employer?

            Bc companies aren’t people. Corporations and humans are in no way two equal entities. There is no reason to think the laws should be set in any way other than ensuring people have their needs met.
