Mia Hawk works as a secretary at BuildCo., a large construction company that specializes in government contracts. Mia is in charge of reviewing the invoices that BuildCo. sends to the state of Vermont, regarding the construction of a new facility for the state’s department of transportation. Mia discovers that BuildCo managers have been illegally overcharging the costs of time and materials in their invoices to state officials. Mia tells Irene, a co-worker, about the overcharges during a lunch break and suggests that they should be fixed. Two weeks later, Mia is abruptly fired by her immediate supervisor. Assuming that her termination was because of her disclosures to Irene, did BuildCo. legally terminate Mia?
