Megan was employed by a large company. Her supervisor told her to falsify government reports. She refused and was fired. She sued for wrongful discharge.

A)Yes. An at-will employee does not have a legal right to claim wrongful discharge of employment. B)Yes. As an employee, Megan owes a duty of loyalty to her employer.
