Question

I know california is an at will state but I was recently hired and started training as a GM for a restaurant, the training takes place in another franchise owners restaurant. Same franchase different owners. I was recently fired after training only 1 month into training. Without cause from what I believe was untrue slanderous statements because I called into question several practices that different from the manual I was being trained from. This other company was having massive upheaval of their own and i believe me stating these questions got me fired with no cause.

Answer

At will means at will, that means no cause necessary.

Answer

Mr. Nelson is right. The only relevance of for cause versus not for cause/no cause is whether you qualify for unemployment.
