Let us know when you get your severance package. I want a pony. I’ll get my pony before you get your package.
Who knew T had so many amateur lawyers o. It’s payroll?
No, not amateur lawyers, just managers who know how to use a PC, Google and research for facts. :)
And free cell phone and internet service for all. That's protected human right too.

Lets not confuse 'Right to Work" with "At Will" employment. Below are two definitions. You can Google for more examples. The change in job location falls under 'At will' employment.
RIGHT TO WORK:
In right-to-work states, employees hired by a union shop can choose whether to join the union and pay union dues. The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) prevents employers and others from compelling or forcing someone to join the union when they don’t want to. Workers who decide not to join the union don’t have to pay union dues even though they receive all the benefits negotiated during the union’s collective bargaining process. In other words, if some of your workers are union members and negotiate four weeks of vacation time, all your workers have to receive that perk.
If a union organizer approaches an employee in a right-to-work state to join the union, the employee has the legal right to refuse membership and payment of fees. According to the NLRA, if an employee finds that the union is taking out dues for union membership, they have the right to stop the withdrawals. However, in some cases, the union may require the employee to pay fees to receive certain protections and representation from union leadership. On the other hand, in non-right-to-work states, a union could require employees to join it and pay union dues.
AT WILL EMPLOYMENT:
For employers, at-will employment offers flexibility to meet new goals in times of changing business needs or market demands. As an employer, not only are you permitted to terminate without cause, but you’re also generally able to change an employee’s job duties, lower their salary, change their benefits or adjust their paid time off at-will. The ability to make these adjustments can be especially valuable for small businesses unable to predict their long-term employment needs, or looking for ways to save costs by reducing headcount.
Additionally, employers are generally protected from legal action under at-will employment, provided they did not violate any of the employee’s legal rights. Minimize the likelihood of an employee taking legal action if terminated by asking all employees and new hires to sign a statement acknowledging the organization’s at-will status.
Are at-will employers required to pay SEVERANCE PAY when terminating employees? Although some at-will companies may choose to provide severance pay, it is not required by law. The Fair Labor Standards Act only requires that employees are paid for the time they worked prior to their termination and for any paid time accrued.
Many businesses communicate employment at will in offer letters and ask new hires to sign a statement acknowledging the at-will status before starting.
That’s where you are wrong. Reasonable is not moving out of state & not providing relocation money. They can close the doors and lay me off, which I’ll get severance. You’re a fool if you let the company cheat you out of your benefits. Especially employees with 20 plus years, that’s discrimination for employees over 40. Make sure your playing with a full deck before you fold.
The only slightly gray area here out of the company's control is collecting unemployment where state rules count.
Beyond that, it's "at will" employment, and especially in "right to work" states one would have little standing. Even in the more progressive states with stronger labor protections, AT&T is clearing out their business presence and I doubt the the state attorneys in, for example New York, would be much inclined to pursue any technicalities with a Texas company.
Incorrect.
Look up the term “employment at will” and get back to us.
And don’t state things definitively when you have no idea what you’re taking about. Makes you sound like more of a dullard than you probably are.

No it's not, no one has to work. Working is a choice, not a requirement. People choose to be homeless. Some people like living off the system, Some people choose to be providers & caretakers. All of the above have Human Rights.
Work is a human right?
