No offense, but this is wrong.
1) It depends what state you are in (that's legislature, can't really argue it)
It's called At-Will Employment and 37 states have "Implied Contract Exceptions" to the At-Will Employment Theory. 13 are not At-Will Employment states at all. The 13 states say that you cannot fire someone unless they break some sort of law or major company policy and you must have due proof. The 37 pretty much say the same thing, only there is an implied contract that must be present (long term benefits, etc). (By the way, I stand corrected, Ma is an At-Will state). In these states (Ma included), will not allow you to sue for wrongful termination, but case law has shown that suing for breach of contract can be successful.
The 13 are a member of the 13, that just means there 13 other states that can fire you for no damn reason.
Ma does have a law called The Covenant of Good Faith (I know, sounds like an Indiana Jones movie) that gives a little protection, but not very good.
I study HR and this is going to by my career, please don't dishearten him by saying falsehoods.
The reason these laws are misunderstood so often is because it's astounding how often companies will be in direct violation of them. 1) They have great lawyers and are confident in doing things their own way and also count on employees not having the knowledge to do anything about it 2) Sometimes an oversight
Make friends with your HR rep, it will do you good.

im sorry to bring anybody down but you need to realize that sears pays millions in lawer fees just so that they can skew the law to work for them all they need to do is pull out the SOP for sales and put some bogus crap in her file about underperformance and poor reviews

This is a valid point, in the fact workplace lawsuits are time consuming and expensive. That is why I suggested if a problem starts to arrive they be proactive and work with HR reps, this will ensure job security while actions are being taken.
