      You het fired for being bad at work, coming in late, etc.

      You get laid off for “we don’t wanna pay you anymore.”

          Nope. There are firings with cause that have nothing to do with legality and it turns out that’s most of them by far. You can legally tell customers to lick your balls and you will probably get fired for misconduct and then you won’t get benefits. What constitutes “misconduct” varies by state but none of them require you to break the law.
