However, in practice the employer has all of the power and can inflict harm onto the employee in which they have no recourse. By ending At Will it will lessen the current Human Resource practices of humiliating employees.

They have all the power. They KNOW and so do all that without us they would be just like us. It is all about the money. The rich get richer the poor get poorer. Where are the employee rights? Just reading over the different state laws I see very few employee rights. If not for the every day worker where would the rich be? Think about it.

I was in sales, they "wait" for the contract business to come in, then fire you, then hire someone younger and stick the money in their pockets. That should be outlawed.

This is a very dangerous trend to control the lives of people - and give them little recourse.
There is no sane reason to inhumanely and arbitrarily and insanely mistreat people - this is not good production and allows employers to actually hide their 'crimes'. Who started this trend? Or, is it just a natiral creed to enslave and control? I AM AVAILABLE TO START A GROUP. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME.

If you don't fit into your supervisor's image of what he or she likes as a person, you could be fired for no reason at all. Most of the reasons are exaggerations of an event or events that are documented by by your supervisor or manager. In today's workplace if you are the one in a power position, your word is gospel and the employee's word holds no merit. It needs to change, its sad.

I am a professional; a doctoral candidate with a quite demeanor. I have been terminated a total of 8 times wrongly, most recently about a month ago from a high paying job that I relocated 1,500 miles to take. The reasons provided were ridiculus and circumstantial (sombody said that I said type of foolishness). I was called in after just one month on the job and told I was not a good fit.

The at will over rules many of the state laws therefore takes citizen's rights and protection: such as firing for serving a jury duty, for not submitting an employer's request to commit a crime, for claiming worker's comp due to job injury. The law makers and GA's court system is promoting injustice to GA's residents. This is so unbelievably grotesque in favoring the corporations and employers!
