Today, I learned companies can legally lie to fire an employee, and unless anything they say is on record, they are legally correct, no matter how unethical the company is. FML

Please elaborate? We're all dying to know what happened.

No need to be a dick #15. The FML is pretty vague, And has zero specific details so wanting more is pretty logical. Stop being so salty.

I learned a long time ago to ALWAYS get anything important in writing. If the company won't write it down, it ain't within legal guidelines

That really sucks. I once heard the saying "a good manager can find a reason to fire anyone, even the best employees that don't make mistakes. So always watch your back at work. "

It's not really that they can lie, it's that California is an at-will employment state. Employers don't need a reason to fire someone, meaning they can make up any reason they want without much legal consequence.
