Either way I'll bet pennies to dollars that they wanted him gone for more reasons than not wearing a sticker. Kind of stupid for using that as cause for termination but if they have the other stuff documented he is toast. I have a boss who is a religious fruit like him. I don't trust him any farther than I can throw him.
I think that is correct. Here in MD non-contract employees work for as long, and only as long as their employment is mutually agreeable to them and their employer. (I think I wrote that correctly--but I'm sure some lawyer will correct me if I didn't)
However, if this firm gave a reason for firing him, then they open the door to a lawsuit for discrimination, right? ( Again, correct me if I got that wrong).
They could have just said, " We decoded to make a change in your department; your position has been eliminated. We are not hiring. Happy Thanksgiving!"
