Fhritp is the dumbest thing ever. So glad he got canned just wish I could have been the one to do it.

How a senile old man's raving garner that much attention? Oh wait, it's the internet.

I'm ok with the guy getting canned as long as when my employer does or says something stupid I can sue for defamation as they made me look bad. goose/gander.

Perhaps, but that's not exactly how labour law works. The employer doesn't actually need a reason to fire anyone (but you would need to prove defamation to sue).

The only question is one of severance - if you are let go "for cause" (such as stealing, or breaking a code of conduct), then no severance is warranted. If you are let go for any other reason, then you are owed severance based on years of service, age, and how likely you are to find another job.

This applies to non-unionized jobs, as collective bargaining usually covers terminations and disciplines for union staff.
