Can you legally form an employment contract preventing termination?

Wednesday, April 18th, 2012

Can you legally form an employment contract preventing termination? For example, if I find a new position, but really would like to stay at my current one. I only looked because of mass layoffs hitting the company recently. My boss likes me and would surely make a counter-offer for me to stay.

Would it be possible to legally get them to sign a contract preventing them from "laying me off" for at least 2 years? Is there such a thing?

I would like to stay, but am fearful of current circumstances with the company.
