Can my boss threaten to fire me for something another employee did?
Hi Abby! While I can't provide legal advice, I can share some general information. In California, it's generally unlawful for an employer to fire or threaten to fire an employee for reasons that are not related to their own performance or behavior. This could be considered retaliation or wrongful termination.
Is there a specific incident that happened?

- Ohio is an "at-will" employment state, meaning employers can terminate employees for any reason or no reason, as long as it's not illegal.
- Threatening to fire an employee for something they didn't do might be considered unfair, but not necessarily illegal unless it involves discrimination, retaliation, or breach of contract.
