Employment is at will, they don't need to have a reason for firing her. In fact there is nothing illegal about firing someone for being too ugly or too hot.

It's only illegal if they gave a reason.

Fire that? Fucking homo's. I'd love to have eye candy like that at the office.

How is it illegal? It's legal to hire based on looks, so I see no reason why it wouldn't be legal to fire them as well.

Gotta be more to it. Someone may have been frightened that the male staff could only hold out so long before one tried to slip her the pink steak and fired her to avoid that lawsuit. Or someone got shot down. Or maybe they had a hard time getting females on task with that kinda competition around.

As a male all I see is win win WIN!

Maybe she can get a job at a sperm bank.

I'd make a deposit, (as long as there was no penalty for early withdrawal).

That's not how it works in the corporate world. "At will" is largely bullshit. You still can't fire people for looks, weight, gender, etc.

You certainly can when you HIRE, so I don't see why you couldn't when you FIRE.

You can in Nebraska. Hire and fire at will. They don't have to tell you anything except "pack up your shit and get out". That's the way it should be, IMO.
