"If you're going to start a meeting with fat shaming me, then yes; I am going to fire back. Don't dish it out if you can't take it yourself.
If you have a problem with that, we can get the lawyers involved and discuss it further."
But I also live somewhere that actually has labour laws and where 'at-will' employment is a ridiculous concept. If you want to fire someone (after their three months probation), you've gotta have a good reason and you better document it throughly.
"At will" isn't as magical as people think.
If you terminate an employee without documented cause, you still have to pay them unemployment.
In practice this just means that your documented cause will be fabricated.
It doesn't really need to be fabricated. It's stupid easy to build a case to legitimately fire anyone.
Not really. I used to work in management for a major outdoors retail chain and we had employees we desperately wanted to fire because they were lazy and toxic rowards other staff and customers, but since they showed up on time and in uniform corporate wouldn't let us do it because they didn't want to pay unemployment.
Being toxic to customers is probably counter indicated in the employee handbook, especially for a retail chain.
Your management could have written them up for it 3 times then fired them, but they couldn't be bothered to do the paperwork.
