&gt;  What&#x27;s the situation in New York, do you have give cause? Or it it at will and you can fire for no reason?<p>Generally, New York is &#x27;at-will&#x27;, though it depends on the circumstances of employment: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ag.ny.gov&#x2F;labor&#x2F;can-you-be-fired" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ag.ny.gov&#x2F;labor&#x2F;can-you-be-fired</a><p>Note that New York City <i>also</i> has a some additional protections that are not present state-wide[0]. I&#x27;m not sure if any of those come into play here.<p>[0] For example, discrimination against gender identity is protected in NYC and Long Island, but not state-wide. IIRC New York also protected against discrimination for sexual orientation before SONDA (state-wide law) was passed.
