Question: Boss A hires a solid employee in an at-will state. A 9 months later the company pushes Boss A out and brings in new management.

Boss A hires a solid employee in an at-will state. A 9 months later the company pushes Boss A out and brings in new management. Apparently, the promised growth plans (hiring) that the employee was to do for Boss A didn't get approved. The employee did well for Boss A - that could be confirmed by deposition. Boss B is under some pressure on departmental results and, a few days before payouts of an annual bonus, terminates the employee at month 15, with HR present, in what was supposed to the employees first ever performance review. The pre-review self-assessment was never recognized. In the meeting Boss B goes on and on making all sorts of performance statements never before shared in writing. HR cuts her off, closes the meeting, and that's that. BTW, no bonus was paid. .a) What risks did the mishandled situation cause for the company? Just name 3, although there are many. .b) How else could the termination have handled so that the risk to the company and/or their reputation would have been minimized. .c) What would have been a way to do right (the right thing and right within the way)
