[Mr Ramsbotham]

Is there anything an employer can't demand of an employee as a condition of continued employment, not specifically spelled out in a contract? Can he ask for the keys to your house? Demand that you sleep with him? Marry him? Turn over your firstborn to him?

In my state (nc) an employer can fire an employee for any reason or no reason, just not a discriminatory or illegal reason (demanding sex or giving up a child would fit that). Similarly an employee can quit for any reason, apparently even a discriminatory one, such as the race of your boss. Smart employees and employers see each other’s value.
