One of the bosses felt she was "distant."
Even if she was.... how is that a firing offense? WTF! Assholes!

Sadly, I'm thinking the reason it was so soon after she got hired was so she wasn't done with some sort of trial period. I know my company has a 90 day window where if things aren't working out, they can let somebody go with no reason other than "didn't work out".
I can't imagine "distant" being that kind of a dealbreaker, though. Who the fuck was she working for anyway - Ken Scorpio?

California's "at-will." She was an executive assistant. The executives have a grotesque sense of entitlement about how they will be served.

{{JZ}} I hope this turns out to be a blessing in disguise (and that that boss gets an infection in a uncomfortable place).

NOT OK. No warnings? Is that even legal?
