Recommendation

If you're in danger of losing your job, Richard C. Busse provides advice about how to turn things around and improve your relationships at work. If you do lose your job, he explains how to cope with termination, negotiate the best settlement and understand your rights. He answers many questions about U.S. employment laws and how they differ from state to state. getAbstract recommends this book to anyone who fears he or she may be "fired, laid-off or forced out" of a job, now or in the future. Managers, supervisors and human resource professionals will also find useful tips about legal issues and conducting performance evaluations properly, so they can avoid the risk of wrongful termination lawsuits.

Take-Aways

  • Most employees work "at will." Employers can generally terminate you at their discretion, without cause.
  • If your termination appears imminent, try to negotiate your resignation instead.
  • Only certain types of harassment, discrimination or retaliation are actually illegal.
