Can an employee be fired only because he/she is fat?
This hasn't happened to me yet but I think my boss might be considering it eventhough she keeps telling me I'm doing excellent work. ..considering it b/c her puppy doesn't like me. Plus the complaints from the bosses about having too little money. She brings the puppy over sometimes for a few minutes. The puppy is free to roam the office, visits everyone but ignores me. In fact if I get up to go pet him he runs away. My boss & her husband own the company. They also happen to live next door to the office.

Unless you are working under a union contract, you can be fired for any reason or even no reason at all. Right to work also means right to fire. Also means that you are free to work anywhere and can quit anytime you wish. As far as the puppy goes, let it come to you and it wont be so afraid.

Where does being too fat or the boss living next door to the office have to do with this? You could be fired because the puppy doesn't like you. The boss doesn't need a reason to fire an employee. You can be fired because you have a strange laugh or you drink Pepsi instead of Coke. They said you do good work so don't worry about it. If it happens, it happens. There's nothing you can do to stop it.
