Question

Answer 1

It's called "employment at will." An employer can fire an employee for no reason whatsoever. Now, why would your boss want to fire an employee who does a good job? There must be a reason you are wondering about that. Have you made other employees angry or uncomfortable? Doing a good job is only part of what makes up a good employee. You must also get along with other employees. That doesn't mean that everyone has to love you and think you are the best person in the world. It just means that people don't hide when you walk into a room or hold their noses because you don't wash often enough.

If you are neat, clean, pleasant and do your work well, most employers will be happy to have you work for them.

Answer 2

I am a boss and yes, either of you can be fired. Consider these scenarios....

1. "I am sorry John Doe. I've noticed that you are more of a liability than an asset here and we have to let you go. You just aren't adapting to the work environment". Fired.

2. "I am sorry Bob, you are a great worker and I must admit you have great work ethic, but I don't believe you subtract from the personable atmospere we try to maintain here. Once again, I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors." Fired/

My point is that either one of you can be fired.

I sense you are asking this question for a reason; perhaps, coming to work has made you feel uncomfortable because of comments or treatment of you by your co-workers. In a unionized environment, silent codes of practice tend to become the norm and people who attempt to exceed those codes can sometimes become the subject of ostracism by their co-workers. However, if you feel you are being targeted for harassment by co-workers, you may need to speak to your boss to find out if there is anything you can do or if he/she can assist. However, if it is just that you feel you are working harder than the others, it may well be that your boss may not want to get rid of you because you are doing a lot of good for the company. But, it is important for you to have regular feedback. In some cases, you may need to ask your boss for feedback on your work to help assure you of your position with the company.
