If the description of ''unacceptable'' behaviour is known before the employee accepts the position, no quarrel.

If said description is made after that time, de facto as it were, I'd run the employer through every court in the nation, and cheerfully (and win, too).

Only the Regress gets to change the rules in the middle of the game, because Mr. Madison didn't think to put in a clause in the Constitution to stop them from doing so.

The rest of us live by any reasonable interpretation of law, and for better or worse, under what might be described as status quo ad hoc at the time of events.

What law school taught you this?

I would consider suing them if I were you.

I don't care if you quarrel. It's my company. I can change the rules in mid-stream. You're fired.

Wrongo. You're fired, and you don't get a penny. Challenge me in the courts. I'm the boss. I can change the rules anytime, for whatever reason (as long as it's not due to protected status discrimination).

It's not a contract. It's employment-at-will. If I don't like you because you wear green, you're fired. If I don't like you because you cheer for the Denver Broncos, you're fired. It doesn't matter if I make that decision before you're hired, a week after you're hired, or ten years after you're hired. It's my company and my money. There's nothing you can do about it as long as being a green-wearing fan of the Denver Bronco's isn't a protected status.
