In general, unless an employee is civil service, in a union, or has a written employment contract, they are an 'at will' employee that can be disciplined or fired any time for any reason, other than illegal discrimination or retaliation under the Discrimination, Civil Rights, or Whistle-blower, or similar statutes. The employee's goal should be to keep the employer happy.
