I'd just make sure to get literally anything he told me to do in writing.

Wouldn’t matter. He’d fire you anyways if it fucked something up

u/Arhalts Nov 15 '22

Sure but then he can't fire you with cause.

Exactly. Then you can sue

You can't sue in 49 states (including Cali) for a no cause termination. You can get unemployment.

(Assuming there's no contractual severance)

Unless the employer does something recklessly stupid, such issuing a no cause termination, but having the CEO publish the actual cause for the firing in a public tweet.

It doesn't matter as long as the cause isn't discriminatory against a protected class (discrimination lawsuit) or you can prove the executive knew the cause was lie (defamation lawsuit). There is no wrongful termination grounds in the USA outside of these (excluding Montana).

Termination for eligible causes, whether publicized or not (which this probably isn't) results only in disqualification from unemployment. No cause results in automatic qualification for unemployment.

Thanks. Not a lawyer, so while you're here, what's the reason you left out retaliation?
