How so? If one is a solid and dependable employee than no company would want to get rid of that person. If the company was going under, then it wouldn't matter if there was a Right-to-Work law or not anyhow.

Unless you are the second in command, there may well be a boss who feels threatened by your skills and ability...They can and do eliminate employment assets...Not to mention personality conflicts...

Have you ever been in management? Because it typically does not work that way. As a manager, I want to surround myself with the best possible people, fully cognizant that they may take my job someday, which is usually a good thing because it means I'm probably moving up myself. I have never seen in my business career a manager trying to knock out underlings out of fear of them taking his job somebody.

In your example, the one who is second in command is better off moving on. If he's good enough to be second in command, he's good enough to work just about anywhere and who would want to work for a company with a CEO who is out to eliminate threats to his own position as opposed to making his company as successful as it can be?
