Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin · What To Do If You Get Laid Off: Employment Attorney Ryan Stygar on Keyboard Tracking, Return to Office and Negotiating Severance · 29 Jun 2026 podcast

That is so funny.

I love that you went straight to Texas.

It's actually Montana.

Okay.

Montana is the only state.

So what's interesting is 49 states are at will.

Yeah.

After a certain probationary period, most employees actually require cause to be terminated.

But in every state that's not Montana, the default rule is you can be fired for any legal reason with or without cause, with or without notice.

And that's if you don't have a contract, just assume that that's probably you're probably at will.

So the reason I bring that up, Nicole, is.

A lot of times you'll have in your employment paperwork, it'll say at will, fine.

But if you do not have a contract, the default is at will.

So if you're saying, wait, I don't know if I am.

If you don't know, you're probably at will.

Anytime for any legal reason, they love to leave out the legal reason part.

And I always make sure to shoehorn that right back in there, because even though you can be fired for infinite number of unfair, petty, objectively unreasonable reasons, and it wouldn't break the law.

There are also many protected reasons where it is not lawful to fire you, even in an at will state.

My practice is primarily wrongful termination, wage theft, sexual harassment, things like that.

We're in an at-will state.
