You can get fired any time - get laid off, become a victim of corporate politics, or get fired for whatever other reason. Just last month, someone I know got fired on the spot after 15 years at a company for not reporting some personal stuff between other employees.. something he wasn't involved with, at all
This 'at wil'/'can get fired for any reason' stuff is unique to the USA, and is illegal in the EU.
The lesson is that employment rights laws are not some "socialist" horrible laws that will make the public sector fat, but are instead laws that benefit white collar, highly paid professionals like us computer programmers.
