Forced Anger Management course

What is your question? The common law is very much alive in New York. The Master Servant Doctrine, Faithless Servant Doctrine and Duties of Loyalty to employers all apply. If an employer believes that employees can benefit from training or retraining employers may require employees' attendance. On the other hand employees "at will" may be terminated for no reason at all. Yes, most employees are "at will." And many employers choose not even give an employee a reason for firing them and that's ok. Unless you work for the government, a union or have the rare employment contract stating that cause is needed before termination. Biggest mistake employees make? They either fail to report illegal conduct they hear or see OR they are instructed by human resources not to discuss a reported incident or workplace issues and the employee disobeys human resources which is almost always insubordination. That's a great reason to fire someone. Report any unlawful conduct. Then remain silent during any investigation. No supervisor needs to treat any employee nicely. The boss can be nasty to everyone. The employee should not reciprocate. Doing so could be insubordination. It's what I call an employment law reality check. Some lawyers may not want to tell potential clients this blunt truth.
