Exactly. I'm not a lawyer but I struggle to find the legality of firing someone for showing up early for work. What nonsense.

    No this is what he DID. What you said is what he DIDN'T do. If a judge asked what did the employee do. He would have to confess that the guy showed up early for work. He didn't actively DO anything to get fired.That's my point.

    I think that in a lot of the US, firing people because you enjoy it is fine. It's probably a hobby for some people over there.

    Generally yes. There are some financial remedies possible in this sort of case if the employee did anything reasonable for the new job. Like, if they quit an old job they wouldn't otherwise have or moved, they would have a potential case, since there was no actual reason they were immediately fired. If they didn't already have a job and didn't move, they'd probably be SOL unless they live in like California.
