OP is assuming managers won't just fire you.

And you're assuming OP won't take it to the Department of Labor for unjustified termination

Unless you're talking about unemployment benefits, employers don't need a justification to fire anyone. We're all at-will employees.

At will means they can fire you for no reason but they still can't fire you for certain specific reasons. If you, for example, take FMLA leave because you are sick, they cannot legally fire you for it. Of course, they might try and do it anyways and trump up performance issues and you may well lose your case, but in principle they aren't allowed to.

I don't disagree.
