Why do some keep speaking as if the guy got fired? He did not get fired he got suspended (I assume with pay as it does not say suspension without pay) did it not say that in the article?Some keep saying he lost his job either they misread the article or they are attempting to blow the story out of proportion.
Florida is an at will employment state which means to an extent that an employer can simply release you for what ever reason but this does not mean that you get no protections you still will be able to draw unemployment and such and the law is also helpful to the employee as because part of the law makes the first 90 days of employment a probationary period(some employers extend their probationary length) this means that the employee if they feel that the job does not suit them for what ever reason they can resign from the job and it has no negative reflection on their work history.On the face of it the law sounds like it is harsh on employees and not employers but it is not really that unfair because it allows an employer to more easily get rid of crappy workers which means that they will be able to hire the best employees.And for employees it is a good thing because it allows them 90 or more days to decide if they like the job or not and they can resign from the job and it is even fair to poor workers because an employer can simply let them go just like that and they have no blemish form getting fired on their work history. I cant say for everyone in the entire state but have heard few reasonable people have any troubles with this law seems to me the dirt bag type people that usually are poor workers are the ones that dislike this law also generally speaking unions are weak in the South East anyway and the law is somewhat anti-union.It is what it is life is not fair.
