Even if you show up everyday and do your job as asked?
"Even if you show up everyday and do your job as asked?"
Yes... I think an employer should be able to terminate somebody without giving a reason. And that's the way it is in Idaho. If the voters want to change the law, they can.
Yup, that's called "at-will employment" and most Red states follow it, thank heavens. An employer can fire an employee any time for ay reason or no reason (except for a Federally prohibited reason such as race.)
While I think it is pretty ridiculous in this particular circumstance, the alternative is worse. We don't need French-style jobs for life in this country. That way lies stagnation and massive unemployment.

Complying with company policy was part of her job and her firing was pro forma. When she trumpeted her cohabitation to her employers, she was tendering her own resignation. Now she has what her job couldn't give her -- the spotlight.
The only obligation the company has is to pay her for her hours worked, not to give her continuous employment.
