Abstract
For over one hundred years the law of the land has been “at‐will” employment, the common‐law doctrine that permits either party to terminate an employment relationship at any time for any reason or for no reason. In our nation's earlier stage of rapid industrial growth, demand for employment was high; therefore, this unrestricted right to fire an employee arguably created negligible costs for employer and employee alike. Employers could easily find new employees, and employees easily find new jobs.
