Read the following case, then answer the next 5 questions below that refer to this case.
Michael works as a programmer for a small food-related startup called Tasty that provides food services for office buildings. Michael is helping to create TastyO's app that lets companies order catering on demand (like DoorDash or Postmates but for corporate catering services).
Michael has a new manager named Corey. Corey recently came across an Instagram photo of Michael wearing a t-shirt with the name of the video game Fortnite. Corey thinks video games are a waste of time, and would interfere with Michael's ability to work on the catering app.
Even though Michael has a history of good performance reviews from his previous manager, Corey decides to fire Michael and replace him with another programmer he worked with before at another company. Corey does not tell Michael his real reason for firing him, and only says he wants to move in "another direction" with his programming team.
If Michael were an at-will employee at Tasty, Corey would have the legal right to fire Michael in this way.
