If your boss was constantly mentioning new jobs to you, you'd probably take the hint and start looking for opportunities elsewhere. The first time your boss says that, alarm bells should start ringing in your head. For this person, it was causing a lot of distress! Their boss was continually holding this over their head.
It was pretty impolite of the boss to keep reminding an employee of something so obvious. This woman kept telling her employee that she was an "at will" worker, which in many US states means that she can be fired at any time for basically any reason. But here's the thing… workers already know that! Worker protections in the US aren't exactly in the employee's favor. You really can just wake up one morning and head into the office, only to be told you're going to have a chat with HR. You then leave with all your belongings in a cardboard box, leaving you scrambling to pay your bills and find a new job. It's a nightmare scenario for many people, which makes it extra satisfying that this person got to turn their boss's taunt into a teachable moment.
