Re: Can i be fired for my opinion

Unless you have an employment agreement which speicifies certain conditions for termination, an employment in Texas is "at will", e.g. whatever suits the employer. An employer can fire an employee for a good reason, a bad reason or no reason at all unless the termination is because of age, race, sex, disability or national origin discrimination or unless the employee refused to violate a law.
