[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2201786, member: 26737"] Right to work has nothing to do with this. Oklahoma is an "at will" state, which means unless you have a contract, you can be terminated at any time for no reason at all. I've been an at will employee my entire working career (and I've had my current job over 20 years); there are procedures my boss is supposed to follow to terminate my employment, but the simple fact is that he could tell me tomorrow that my services are no longer required. Having been on both sides of the management equation, I can tell you that there's more to this story, whether you (or your wife) know it or not. Employees almost [I]never[/I] really know what's going on, particularly when it comes to their fellow employees and their qualifications, simply because they don't know what the boss knows. What the employee sees as qualifications for a position are not necessarily what the boss sees as qualifications, plus, you don't know what pressure is being applied to the boss by [I]his[/I] bosses--after all, he has a job that has to get done, too.
