Re: Fight with co-worker on the weekend

I hate to tell you, but I think you have neglected some salient facts.

Your statement is difficult to believe.

Yes, you can be fired for something that did not occur on company time.

I have no idea what will happen.

You probably need to retain a lawyer who specializes in employment law.
