Re: Parking lot Bill question

I would be surprised if a company did not put in a person's file a reason why they were terminated. My company, in order to protect themselves from discrimination lawsuits that we're more familiar with, is meticulous about documenting the reason why they terminate someone. It usually takes a verbal warning, written warning, and a final written warning before someone can be terminated. Unless the infraction is really egregious it seems like it is sometimes harder to get rid of someone at my company than the USPS.
The company I work for is the same. Lots of documentation, etc. I just remember the case last month were a law firm let go 20+ people for wearing orange shirts. I definitely hope that you're right. Could there be more liability if our companies are incorporated out of another state?

As an at will state, would there be liability? I suppose if the pink slip actually said something like "dismissed for firearm in car" you might have some case for something. It would be a rare HR department that would be that stupid. It is Texas; could a person win a case based on 2A discrimination? I would love to think so but I don't see it happening.

One week later:

Employer: We no longer need your services. Security will escort you out of the building. Have a nice day.
at will state, this is my fear. for now concealed is concealed. and, if for some wierd reason they ever wanted to search my car I will not be good at remembering the combination to the portable safe. Dang kids always messing with it don't ya know. if they can't see in the safe, maybe I'll be safe. I'll hope that it would never get that far.
