I am going to digress a bit from the original topic and just state, for the record, that "work at will" doesn't matter in cases of alleged sexual harassment or discrimination. Those are federal statutes that cross all state boundaries.
Texas, where I am, is a "work at will" state, and it is definitely non-union, and pro-employer. However, at any given time, there are multitudes of lawsuit for wrongful termination in the state courts. Most are moved to district court level (federal) because of the very nature that the charges that they allege are covered in federal statutes and leave state statutes moot.
I am not saying that this situation has even gotten to this point. What I am saying is that you can never guarantee another person's motives if they feel scorned in any way. I am saying that once you throw something on the table, the person that picks it up may have a completely different mindset and thought process in the whole thing.
It's best to know everything up front, and not leave anything to chance.
