Milton Vs IIt Research Institute Case Study

1. Milton lost because of an at will employment law states that employers have a broad discretion to terminate employees for any reason.
2. If Milton were permitted to win, many corporate officers would be giving out information about companies wrongdoings. They would do this because they would be protected by law and would not be terminated, in a court of law, the employee would win the case along with millions in return.
Credibility is at stake for employers.
3. Milton did the correct procedure by bringing the income problem up for discussion. Milton was terminated for wrongful discharge, but in order for that charge
