        "text": "If you have an employment contract, you can generally only be fired for reasons specified within that contract. This differs from 'at-will' employment, where an employer can terminate an employee for almost any reason. A contract might outline specific grounds for termination, such as 'for cause,' or require a certain notice period. If your employer fires you in violation of the contract's terms, it could be considered a breach of contract, which is a form of wrongful termination.",
