Halle Benton · Answer 1

False

Explanation:

At-will employment is a contractual relationship between employer and employee in which either of the parties can end the contract without previous notice or cause. However, the reason must not be illegal or go against U. S. Labor laws. For this particular case, Richard is offering Lori a better job opportunity which is not tortious interference.
