Hello. I am an employer who recently hired a new employee. She has worked for one week. I have realized that due to what is very likely a personality issue, she will not fit in well with the company. I plan to terminate her employment, but feel bad that she did give notice to another employer (part time there) that she is leaving to work full time at my office. Am I exposing myself to potential litigation since she left the other job? I really have no idea if she will still have a job there.
