The claims in Todd's post are false.  If fact, a business owner can
comment on employee dismissals, especially to the employee, without
violating the law and without providing the basis for a court
judgement.  Of course, some comments, especially if they are false or
substantiate an improper basis such as racial discrimination, COULD be
the basis for legal action, but Todd in Tennessee cannot substantiate
any legal basis that an employer "CAN NOT comment to any degree on
employee dismissals.  Period."  Todd's statement is false.  Apparently,
he confuses cover-your-ass legal advice with the law itself.
