Appellate Practice Attorney serving New York, NY
Yes. Absent a contract limiting an employer’s right to terminate someone’s employment, an employee can be fired for any reason not prohibited by statute (e.g. race, nationalit, age). The good news is that saying someone is acting like a dick is a statement of opinion, not fact, and thus not actionable as defamation.
