North Carolina is an employment-at-will state in which an employer can terminate you for any reason; good reason, bad reason or no reason at all. Employers are not required to treat you fairly. There is no law that prohibits an employer from playing favorites or gossiping about you.
However, the law does prohibit employers from treating employees differently based on race, color, sex, national origin, religion, disability or age 40 or older.
