Re: living will
Unless you had a written emploment contract you are most likely out of luck. Most states including Maryland view employment as "at will" which means unless you have a contract
you can be discharged at will (for any reason)
Also, Here the employer had to go to a nursing home which would normally lead to the discharge of employees working in the home
