    At will means you can be fired for ANYTHING unless it is one of the 5 things covered under the whatever...I can’t remember them.. race; religion; etc... and because of AT WILL you have to be very rich to prove you were fired due to one of them... I was fired back in 2000 because my husband had cancer and we were too expensive on their insurance while fighting it! Totally legal in an at will state....

    This ^^^^^^ ......

    They can fire you for any reason they choose. Actually, they dont need a reason. They can let you go... period.
    Now, I am guessing if you swear like that , you probably swear in general conversation. Seriously, if you worked for me & swear all the time, I'd let you go.... seriously.

    I would have been fired back then if they heard half the things i said about dispatch. They deserved it though.

    no, you will be fired, however, if you are employed by a quasi Columbian Cartel, they will cut your tongue out.
